You are not a dummie Vigo95. Keep trying, rebus are fun. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
nice one! 2 bad i got it wrong.... =P
Clever teaser, but any baseball fan can tell you the hint is suspect. Babe Ruth was sold to finance No No Nannette in 1919. Perhaps the song was added later, but what is your soure for 1925?
gr8 teaser i got it PS i was wondering since octopus is octopi on plural and same with cactus and cacti does that mean rebus becomes rebi??? and ne1 answer if u can lol
The hint didn't really help, but I eventually got it. (after 10 mintues) LOL

luvmyself sorry you got it wrong.
I suggest you invite someone out to tea! and keep trying.

Barticus my source was the internet and we know 'it' can not be deemed accurate!
My friend's hubby proposed to her with a beautiful tea pot that played the 'Tea for Two' song. She told me it was their first date and gave me '25 as an approximate date. Since that was what I found Googling, I went with it.
Thanks for giving us some facts and a corrected date.
I appreciate it.
