ARTHUR Sullivan, the composer, was a drinkin' man, they say. He was even known to lose control of his senses at times. But never his "ear" for tone. Sullivan was returning home one night in a state of inebriation which made the identification of his house a difficult one since he lived in a row of identical buildings. Sullivan went along from house to house kicking the metal shoe scrapers by the side of each pair of steps. At one he paused, kicked again, and cocked an ear. "Ha! That's it! B flat!" and walked in the door!
