I don’t mean to sound like my Dad, but they really don’t make ‘em like that anymore. Tim Conway allegedly made Harvey Korman wet himself with laughter when Conway improvised some things during a dentist sketch on the Carol Burnett Show. It’s on YouTube.

In that case "It's a bird, innit? It's a bloody sea bird . .. it's not any bloody flavour. Albatross!"

Oh! My best friend just exploded!

Oh, don’t be so sentimental. People explode every day.

Does it come with wafers?

(don’t answer that!)

Saw it (the movie version) while waiting on an appointment - in Boston, way, way back.

Predicted that Logan runway was too short and that a plane was gonna end up in the water. 3 weeks later or so, that DC-10 skidded off the runway. Absolutely true story.

Next British Guardian headline will be “Penguins in Space; a first for the UK”.

“It’s a bird; it’s a plane; it’s a bloody well-dressed penguin”

News Flash: United Airlines arrests man in tuxedo. Says they thought he was an illegal penguin trying to get a free ride to Alaska.

You know marching penguins out through a minefield while you sit there with a shotgun could make a real demented form of skeet shooting......as they randomly hit a landmine you have to catch them on the “up arc” with the shotgun

Boom!...Bang!....

Seems like those little suckers could be wired and become a mine detector without being in danger.

That might be a great way to locate all the mines.

Map them out, without endangering humans.

Then remove the mines.

“And that was part 3 of ‘The Death Of Mary, Queen of Scots’ as reenacted by Ms. Faye Dunaway, and Muhammad Ali. And now Radio 4 will explode”.

BOOM!

I had to get up to speed on that to understand a lot of these comments, I confess.

Quite right.

But I would advise that you leave off Dennis’ “autonomous collective” bit until you get really good with /sarc tags.
