A World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps is walking down
the High Street one day when he spots an advert in his local record shop
for "Wasp sounds from around the Globe". On further enquiry he discovers
that a vinyl recording of this subject has just been released and a few
copies are available in store there and then.

Naturally, being a World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps
he is curious and asks the young chap behind the counter if he can have a
listen to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe". A few seconds later the
World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps is standing at one
of those little sound stations with his headphones on and a puzzled
_expression on his face. He removes the headphones, walks back to the
counter and catches the young sales persons attention. "Excuse me" he
says, "I'm A World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps and
I've just been listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe", and I
must say, there appears to be some mistake. Those are no Wasp sounds with
which I am familiar".

The young man dutifully checks the recording in question and assures the
World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps that he is indeed
listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe". Puzzled, the World
renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps returns to the headphones
and once again begins to listen. After a few seconds he once again returns
to the counter and accosts the young fellow there. "Excuse me" he says,
"As I mentioned before, I am a World renowned expert in the sounds of
European Wasps and I've just been listening to "Wasp sounds from around
the Globe" and I have to say again, those are no Wasp sounds with which I
am familiar. Are you certain I have been listening to the correct
recording?"

Slightly exasperated by now, the young man checks the disc currently
playing and with a slightly sheepish grin confesses:

"Oops, sorry sir, I seem to have played you the Bee side"
