    He’s got the cutest little dinghy in the Navy…

    If you don’t anchor that little dinghy, you find yourself adrift ao the sea of stupidity.

    Knew a boat in Mamaroneck that named its dinghy “Plop.” Cracked me up every time I saw it.

    Years ago, I played a character called The Gripper, in a British Musical Murder Mystery spoof called “Something’s Afoot” in which I sang a song entitled " I’ve Got A Little Dinghy ! ".
    Memory isn’t as good as it once was ( neither is anything else, for that matter ! ) and I can only partially recall the lyrics. Couldn’t find them on line. Maybe somebody else can. Very funny song and dance number.

    Is that an oxymoron again: “humdinger of a dinghy”? Or paronomasia on humDINGer and DINGhy? Or is my problem over-thinking Frog Applause?
    Which (FA), BTW, welcome back after ever so long an absence!

    I can’t help wondering if it isn’t a ding-a-ling problem.

    Perhaps I should have saved that ding-a-ling link for "The Working Girl’s Doodle Book.

    @Sisyphos

    Yes, or possibly no. Depends, maybe,

    Maybe not. Even working girls should try to avoid doodling with ding-a-lings before marriage.

    His dinghy may be a problem but his technique is a humdinger!

    The problem is that it’s dirty, too small and beat up. It’s a dingy, dinky, dinged dinghy.

    Everybody now, hum dinghy.
