In the song, "What a Wonderful World", there is a line that goes, "The bright, blessed day, The dark sacred night". I thought Satchmo was saying, "The bright, blessed day, The dogs say Goodnight"! It wasn't until my family asked why I always said "Woof-woof" at that point that I discovered my mistake!
