I have a soft spot for Chattanooga Choo-Choo, mostly for this version: “Pardon me, boys, is this the lair of Great C’thulhu, in the city of slime, where it’s night all the time…”

It is also the starting point for one of the greatest dad jokes in history.

Roy had a brand new pair of shoes. He goes to visit his friend. Being polite, he removed his shoes and leaves them at the door. While visiting with his friend, the friend’s cat discovers Roys new shoes, likes the smell and proceeds to chew them up. Roy goes ballistic. The friend, feeling very bad, has a dilemma: he has two cats. One of the cats enters the room at that moment. The friend then asks: Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?
