The "cheeses" ditty reminds me of the beginning of LIFE OF BRIAN where
some people are listening at the edge of the crowd to The Sermon on the
Mount:

	Jesus: ...blessed are the peacemakers

	1st man: What did he say?

	2nd man: blessed are the cheesemakers.

	1st man: Cheesemakers? Why cheesemakers?

	3rd man: It's not meant literally! It refers to any manufacturer
		 of dairy products.

Incidentally, I didn't think LIFE OF BRIAN was sacrilegious at all.
It wasn't Jesus being mocked, only peoples' response to him.

Back to cheese, my mother always thought that the refrain "All we
like sheep, [have gone astray]" sounded like "Oh, we like cheese!"

Maybe we're on to something here.
