- Four Oxford professors (dons, whatever...) were taking their evening walk
- together and as usual, were engaged in casual but learned conversation.
- On this particular evening, their conversation was about the names given
- to groups of animals, such as a "pride of lions" or a "gaggle of geese."
-
- One of the professors noticed a group of prostitutes down the block, and
- posed the question, "What name would be given to that group?" The four
- fell into silence for a moment, as they pondered the possibilities...
-
- At last, one spoke: "How about 'a Jam of Tarts'?" The others nodded in
- acknowledgement as they continued to consider the problem. A second
- professor spoke: "I'd suggest 'an Essay of Trollops.'" Again, the
- others nodded. A third spoke: "I propose 'a Flourish of Strumpets.'"
-
- They continued their walk in silence, until the first professor remarked
- to the remaining professor, who was the most senior and learned of the
- four, "You haven't suggested a name for our ladies. What are your thoughts?"
- The fourth professor replied, "'An Anthology of Prose.'"
