wouldnt you love to see a 'Monty Python' skit on this ?
When i first saw the headline, my thought was Homeowner has to give shout to robbers before shooting at them LOL
No need. The whole damn Empire has become a Python skit. This goofy crap is extruded on a weekly basis, it seems.
And Now for Something Completely Different ...........................The Ministry of Silly Hunting.
I never realized that so many Monte Python skits were based on reality.
I suspect Rove is behind this. Rove or maybe Rover, the PETA lobbyist....
You mean this wasn't??
I think Monty Python has done a suitable sketch for this indeed. I can see it now the bird police catch a poor farmer with a dead bird in his possesion. With apologies for liberties taken with the Monty Python sketch we shall set the scene.
Farmer : Oh yes, the, uh, the Blue throated gackle ...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
Bird police : I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
F: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
BP: Look, matey, I know a dead bird when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
They attempt to wake him up but alas:
Bird Police Now that's what I call a dead bird
Farmer : No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
BP STUNNED?!?
F.: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin'up Rooks, crows,squabs, gackles stun easily, major.
Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That bird is definitely deceased, and when I inspected it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a your wearing a halloween mask and meowing at the thing.
Well you get the idea.
Too bad Gary Larson is not writing Farside anymore.
