There was
a fourth man
in the tub
with
the butcher,
the baker
and the
candlestick maker,
but no one
remembers him,
because,
he was
between jobs.

I think I read he was the tub inspector. No credit usually given to the behind the scenes workers.

Social media back then was just standing on the corner yelling at people, just the same as today. Thanks, MM

Lucky for the fourth man-he likely didn’t want to rub-a-dub-dub in the tub with the other three anyway. :)

I’m a big fan of movie director Paul Verhoeven. One of his well-known Dutch language films is a psychological thriller called The Fourth Man (De vierde man). An explicit (sex/violence) Hitchcockian piece of foreign cinema.
