Once, at a previous job, a sports photographer returned to the office a little later than expected after taking pictures at a game.
"Sorry I'm a little late getting back," he announced to no one in particular. "I was busy doing the mummers' dance."
On second thought, I don't think he was actually late. I think he was looking for a way to get some humor from Loreena McKennitt's "The Mummers' Dance," a surprise hit in 1998. New age vocalists who sing with epic grandeur don't make the pop charts often. McKennitt did, however, and deservedly so, in retrospect.
