A Conversation for 3.5 Inch Floppy Disk
Benny Hill
Reverend Lovegroove Started conversation May 12, 1999
Perhaps the most misunderstood comedian in history. Misunderstood in the respect that people perceive him to be funny. Can't bear the man, cringed throughout every show I witnessed. Abstract, no. Bizarre, perhaps, though the word spoon is also fairly bizarre when thought about for long enough. So, a little old man ritually chased to comedy music...."discuss the pro's and cons of Benny Hill". Can someone enlighten me?

ermm.... what's that got to do with 3 1/2" floppy disks?

It could be a simple mis-spelling of the word disk, or perhaps something altogether more sinister...

Maybe Benny Hill is a disk? Or perhaps he died and was preserved in 1.44Mb chunks spanning nearly 3 million floppy disks? (Obviously slightly less if he used winzip).

Unfortunately the reliability of floppy disks would mean that if Benny Hill was reconstructed then a large percentage of his DNA would be missing. The we'd have to fill in the gaps with frog DNA which would be fine until he spontaneously changed sex, thus making his jokes slightly surreal (a fat old woman chasing young slim women around.. hmmm, ironic or just wierd?)

If you recall, Benny Hill's dying wish was to be cut up into little 3.5 inch rectangular slabs about 2 cm's thick. This might be what you are refering to.

i don't know anything about floppy disks. i know little more of benny hill. i am most glad though that someone has mentioned the frogs again. i would like to say again that turtles are much yummier.

Yes, excelent point. What about the turtles?!

i agree turtles are tasty. but i should think it was rather impolite to have them to tea and then eat them. i think i shall never go to anyone's for tea now for fear i might be the main course.

Mind you, turtles can be nasty if provoked.

Mrs S.
Are those frogs flown in from Iraq ? That would make a difference.

Benny Hill's favorite sandwitch was turtle and frog on rye.
