My post was a quote from the Monty Mython movie the Holy Grail.
It was a funny scene.

It took them two days to get to the bottom of all the kegs. Just to make sure it wasn’t inside one of them.

Maybe those cops were in that pub looking for a bit of peril.

I’d wager they didn’t find the Holy Grail in the pub, but they did find SOMETHING of interest there.

So interesting that they spend hours there investigating it.
