A surfeit of knowledge

[bobo the clown]

I need some assistance here. I reheard the 1976 Kursaal Flyers classic recently & I'm trying to work out the advantage this situation has given the guy.

"Little does she know that I know that she knows
that I know she's two-timing me".

I get why him knowing is useful. And why him being aware that she's realised he knows. But struggle with how it aids him that she's unaware of this.

It's concerned me for damn near 40 years now.

Yer a bloke - we're not supposed to listen to the words, but rather make your own up as you go along....

Which is sorta why it's taken me 39 years to ask.

I get by on, at a max, two lines of more or less anything. Often incorrect even then.

Mind you. I always though Kursaal was in Salford .... & it appears to be in Southend !!

Although I haven't had 40 year to ponder it Mr B (just hearing it on Radio 2 or Signal 2), I've always wondered why, in reference to the two timing aspect of the sentence, he says "Little does she know" then "She knows that I know".

Does she know or doesn't she know?

I hope she doesn't know you posted it on a Forum!

He knows she does...so it's alright.

Was it that song Rumsfeld was thinking of when he went on with his "Known unknowns, Unknown knowns"?

They both make my head hurt

Well now ... there's the rub. She knows that he knows. But she doesn't know that he knows she knows ... but he does.

Things are going to be pretty tense in THAT part of Southend if you ask me.
