“Mate, this slave wouldn’t “Voom” if you put 4 million volts through him!”

He ain't dead.
He's pining for the Labyrinth.

..he’s not dead, he’s just resting

I love that sketch.

“He’s just exhausted from a prolonged squawk.”

Attention John Edwards: You can now sue John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin (and the other Pythons) for theft of intellectual property.

I understand that they've also uncovered evidence that the classic Mae West line "Is that a comb in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

was originally spoken by a consort to the Roman Senate who originally said: "Is that a scroll under your toga or are you just glad to see me?"

I have a theory that all sitcom comedy gags can be traced back to episodes of “I Love Lucy”.

MSM Headline:

Palin involved in Plagiarism - slavery mentioned

[Mr Ramsbotham]

A troop of galley slaves are rowing a Greek trireme. The overseer, whip in hand, comes down to make an announcement. “Allright,” he says, “listen up! I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that you’re all getting extra rations!”

“Hurrah!” come the cries from the galley slaves.

“And the bad news is,” he continues, “is that the Captain wants to go water-skiing!”

Look, I took the liberty of examining that slave, and I discovered that the only reason that he had been sitting on his bench in the first place -- was that he had been nailed there.

[insert previous FReeper's VOOM statement]

He's bleeding demised.

He's pining.....

He's not pining -- he's passed on. This slave is no more. He has cased to be. He's expired and gone to meet his maker. This is a late slave. He's a stiff. Bereft of life, he rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed him to the perch, he'd be pushing up the daisies. He's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an EX-SLAVE.

'ELLO POLLY!
