Description

Why is this a musical instrument? There used to be a silly joke / response in Mexico. If you asked someone "Do you play an instrument?" or "Tocas musica?" a non-musician would reply "Tocó la puerta." meaning all they could play was the doorbell. Literally it also means I knock on the door. Here's a lovely decorative Mexican door knocker in a pre-Columbian design. Spotted in the state of Guanajuato.
More door silliness: The British phrase "Knock me up" means please alert me or wake me up by knocking at the door. (That in spite of the fact that to be knocked up means be pregnant.)
