British Humor
Posted Jul 2, 2000
A friend of mine has a collection of the first season of the television show "Monty Python's Flying Circus." Recently, I watched part of it. All I have to say is, why? Well, that's not really all I have to say. If that was all I had to say, then this wouldn't be much of an entry, would it? It still might not be...
One of the scenes that I think stood out the most was of a very scantily dressed woman, moving erotically on a bed, lip synching to a man's voice discussing 19th century economics or some such. It then went on to pictures of many naked woman. Then back to the woman flaunting herself and talking politics. I'm sure that a good deal of you reading this are very familiar with british humor, being british, but I guess that I just fail to grasp it. And I doubt I'm alone. Now don't take me wrong. I laugh, I just don't know why. I try to see deeper meanings when there are none, and miss them completely when they truly are there. The sheer bombardment of intelligent stupidity left me senseless and numb. And laughing, but again, I don't know why.

The pounding of the bugs, it's even louder this night,
as they yearn for the glow of the artificial light.
