And blew the noisy ****** away.
A probably untrue story about the rich, eccentric Mizner brothers: one of them went to stay in a house in whose master bedroom was a cuckoo clock.
After being awoken at one or two in the morning by this clock, the Mizner brother went down to the gunroom and selected a double barrelled ten bore or something similar. When the cuckoo opened up at 3 am, he gave it both barrels.
Stylish behaviour I always thought.
