I used to believe that the words (in the christmas carol, "It came upon a midnight clear")
"With angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold"
were actually
"With angels spending near the earth to touch their hearts of gold."
Curiously I never wondered why angels should have golden hearts, but I always wondered what the angels were spending their money on.
