Banbury story of a cock and a bull

Banbury story of a cock and a bull

A story that does not make sense or which rambles circuitously without apparent end. The old sailor, after several glasses of whiskey too many, began to tell some Banbury story of a cock and a bull, which none of us were able to decipher. A: "Do you know what actually happened to him last night?" B: "Not a clue. How could anyone follow that Banbury story of a cock and a bull he just told?" Yeah, if Tad's in the middle of some Banbury story of a cock and a bull, and it's time to close up shop for the day, just cut him off.
