I'd qualify for the gig, but I'm missing the proper attire.

Every time I see my battalion chief (fire department) I think "some village, somewhere is missing its idiot." We would be more than happy to donate him. This is not to imply that I wish the Brit's any ill will.

I bet janine garafolo (I do not know how to spell that womans name, sorry) would be perfect for this.

The year 1649 was when Charles I was beheaded. If that last jester helped the king's digestion the night before his execution, the funny man really earned his pay.
The article also has the obligatory dig-the "fundamentalist Christian republic" is to be blamed for the departure of mirth from England. As if life had been really mirthful for the puritans, dissenters and independents in the centuries before while the privileged played.
