Father:
I have been trying to get my son into a good school. After trying
Winchester, Marlborough and Charterhouse, I was recommended to send him
to that great British public school, Cretinby. Now some of you may
never've heard of Cretinby, in the heart of the swamp country -
difficult place to get into, and harder still to get out of. I motored
down there the following day.
Vintage engine effects, and blasts on two bulb-horns.
Father:
I was shown into the Headmaster's study.
Servant:
Come into the 'eadmaster's study Sir, would you - e'll be dahn in a
minute.
sound of footsteps, locks, bolts and chains, terminating in a cage door
being shut
Headmaster:
Good afternoon, I am the Headmaster. Are you a parent?
Father:
Well I - er - I have a small son.
Headmaster:
I detest evasiveness. What age is he?
Father:
He's eight.
Headmaster:
Eight! Only eight! The awkward age - too old for Mother Goose and
too young for Lolita. Here is my brochure - just glance through it for
a few moments, would you?
Father:
Well, that's very interesting, there's a photograph of the school.
Oh, I say, the fire-escape doesn't look very safe in this picture.
a distant class can be heard reciting multiplication tables...
Headmaster:
It's a lot safer in the picture than it is on the building.
Father:
Is it examined every week?
Headmaster:
It's used every week.
Father:
Unh - tell me, is the school co-educational?
Headmaster:
You can't baffle me with long words.
Father:
I mean - er - do the boys and girls share the same curriculum?
Headmaster:
No, we had separate ones built.
Father:
Well how do you segregate the sexes?
Headmaster:
If you must know, I go round with a crowbar, and prise them apart.
Father:
Oh dear - I don't think this will suit my Basil. You see, he's very
sensitive, and he's never been separated from his mother.
Headmaster:
He hasn't? Have you read what Havelock Ellis has to say about that?
Father:
No.
Headmaster:
Then I'll show you - it's disgusting.
Father:
Uh - well, I don't think I'll see it now.
Headmaster:
Then I'll send you a copy in the plain wrapper - no-one would know.
Father:
Erm - I have to tell you that my boy is very delicate and there is
something I would like to know: are your dormitories dry?
Headmaster:
They are after 11pm, and then they get drinks if they buy
sandwiches.
Father:
I see. Tell me, what types of pupil do you have here?
Headmaster:
We have two types of pupil, Class A and Class B. At meal times the
Class B boys get priority.
Father:
And the Class A Boys?
Headmaster:
They get food.

I love The Daily Show and Terry Pratchett books (not perhaps exactly in
the right category, but they make *me* laugh).

I love all of them.
I am glad you mention Rocky and Bullwinkle as I had quite forgot about
them. Go figure...
I had a hard time to get into them initially but I now love The
Simpsons. I love the movie references in them. I am a classic movie
buff and love the references to Alfred Hitchcock movies and other
classics. I love the warped sense of humour.
Best wishes and thanks,
- Vic
Please don't feed the trolls.
Any post to a troll thread makes the situation worse,

Roger's reliance on narcotic stimulants
See below !

You reminded me of of of the best !!!!!!!!!

.... Roger Ramjet's cache of "proton pills." which gave him strength of
20 atom bombs for 20 seconds. Reportedly, it was Roger's reliance on
narcotic stimulants that kept Roger Ramjet off the market in the 1970s
and 1980s, though it may also have been a lack of interest from TV
station executives who preferred the more lucrative returns from
Flintstones and Gilligan's Island reruns. ...

It was the dog that 'sniggered'. Anyone remember more about this
pooch?

I recently have been watching some SouthPark DVDs. I never have had a
chance to see them before. They are crude but often very cleaver.
There also references to other programs. In one episode, there was
'The Cat' from RED Dwarf sitting as a spectator in an event.
Do you have any other fav comedians or show?
Best wishes,
Vic

<BG> I have to admit that "The Simpsons" sometimes hold speacial
meaning...especially certain episodes...
Ask anyone where the "Chasing moths" references comes from <BG>
As far as comedians go...there is always Robin Williams...
If one is looking at comic strips..."Calvin and Hobbes"...
