OMG! I haven't heard that in ages. What is the genesis?
Monty Python, of course.
The year is 932AD and King Arthur and his loyal manservant, Patsy, are seeking worthy knights to join the round table at Camelot. He needs a good team to go in search of the 'Holy Grail'.
Patsy is in charge of the coconut shells which, when knocked together, make the sound of horses hooves.
A French soldier stands on the ramparts of a castle and at the mention of the Holy Grail says that they already have one, so they aren't interested in what the Englishmen have to say.
'I fart in your general direction', says the Frenchman before throwing a cow over the ramparts."
