Mr. Richmond and Mrs. Janet Hill were honeymooning in a remote
corner of Europe. One clear moonlit night they were driving along
on a lonely road ( some romanticism here) re-living memories of
their courting days. So involved were they in enjoying the beauty
ot the countryside that they whizzed past a derilict old sign
that welcomed them to Transylvania without even noticing it....
     
A short time later the engine of the car coughed, spluttered and died.
"Uh-oh", said Mr. Hill ,"we're out of gas".
"Oh how romantic", cooed Janet , "just like our first date.."
     
It took some time for Rich to convince Janet that, unlike their
first date, this time they were *really* out of gas. So they
got out of their car and trudged towards the foreboding castle
they had seen nearby.....
     
The nameplate on the castle said "Count Dracula". To the Hills'
this name meant nothing...they had spent too much time on moonlit
roads pretending they were out of gas to see any movies..so they
knocked on the door .....
     
The door was opened by this tall imposing man wearing a black
cape. He smiled with obvious pleasure as he listened to the
couple's plight and invited them in to join him for dinner.
Tired and hungry, the couple accepted and went in to the banquet
room where a whole array of yummy foods awaited them.
     
So they ate, and ate until they were quite full. And finally
the Count stood up and said..."And now my dears, I am going to
get myself some red wine." . And he walked over to Janet and
bit her on the neck...and he did the same to Rich too.
     
Stuffed and satiated, having had his fill of human blood,
Dracula walked by the two corpses in his dining room ,
went over to his piano and began to play some music.
He was a fairly good player and got deeply involved in his music.
He had played for some 5 minutes when the two dead bodies
behind him quivered, moved their limbs, rubbed their eyes and
got up.
     
     
     
Why ????
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
 Because "the Hills are alive to the Sound of Music...."
     
     
     
     
(aaaagh! Don't blame me...I just saw the movie on NBC yesterday
 for the 4th or 5th time which reminded me of the above  anecdote
 that I first heard atleast 7 yrs ago.)
