| Summary: | baccalieu n "If you and I was out _gunning_ and we killed so many _baccalieu birds_ (Turres); if I give you 1 bird, we'd have the same number, but if you give me one, I'd have twice as many as you. How many have got?" (I got 7 and you got 5, 12 birds in all). I heard this about 6 years ago from a member of the local "Group Young Briton's" Lodge. We were all together before the meeting and we got telling jokes and this was one of them. DNE-cit DICT CEN.
