21. An all-timer classic!
Thu May 7, 2015, 03:32 PM
May 2015

I love so much of the classic Python skits...but these are favorites for sure:

"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

"You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!"
