Sure, if it were a child. If however it were an adult I would question their level of historical proficiency, or is that *hysterical* ?

Sure, we all mishear things. Or pretend that we do. It's called a mondegreen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen

Oh, sure it's funny now, but you didn't have to live thru it.There was margarine every where. Rushing down the streets in great rapids ; knocking down trees; washing homes,cars, dogs, and children away; clogging arteries faster than they could be cleared. People were stacking toast and pancakes around their property every where, volunteers were filling bags with asparagus, artichokes, and baked potatoes to build levees. All to no avail. We just had to wait it out till it was over. And then somebody saw another encroaching stream of yellow, we could tell it was going to be worse. Somebody screamed, " I can't beleave it! NOT BUTTER!" So laff now, it could happen again. And of course the plague left it's mark on history, in the form of another mondegreen, leading to the naming of a disgusting product and a plague of annoying commercials. Then again they may be referring to the time the bluebonnets invaded Grampappy's cotton patch and there was nothing he could do, 'cause they are the state flower.

Yes, because a girl I went to high school with thought the Pulitzer Prize was actually "The Pullet Surprise". Seriously.....it was hilarious at the time, well...to everyone else LOL....but quite embarrassing to her.
