4. I say the article preceding 'hysterical'
is 'a.'

My dog, Lara was right — it is a sickness with me! :crazy:

5. A BBC newscaster would say 'an'
as in, "an historic occasion".

24. It's from Monty Python, Episode 30
It's an offshoot of the bit, "Gestures to Indicate Pauses in a Televised Talk":

Good evening. Well, tonight we're going to talk about... well, that is, I am going to talk about... well, actually I'm talking about it now. Well, I'm not talking about it now, but I am talking. I know I'm pausing occasionally, and not talking during the pauses, but the pauses are part of the whole process of talking; when one talks one has to pause... er, like then! I paused, but I was still talking... and again there! No, the real point of what I'm saying is that when I appear not to be talking, don't go nipping out to the kitchen, putting the kettle on, buttering scones or getting crumbs and bits of food out of those round, brown straw mats that the teapot goes on, because in all probability I'm still talking and what you heard was a pause... er, like there again! Look, to make it absolutely easier, so there's no problem at all, what I'll do, I'll give you some kind of sign, like this (makes a gesture) while I'm still talking, and only pausing in between words, and when I've finished altogether I'll do this. (sits upright and crosses his arms) All right?

SUPERIMPOSED CAPTION: 'THE END'

No, no! No, sorry — just demonstrating! Haven't finished. Haven't started yet. Oh dear.
(gestures) Nearly forgot the gesture. Hope none of you are nipping out into the kitchen, getting bits of food out of those round brown mats which the teapot... Good evening. (gesture) Tonight, I want to talk about...

VOICEOVER: We interrupt this programme to annoy you and make things generally irritating for you.


That bit segued into a bit about an announcer too distraught to introduce News At Nine, but after a bucking-up from his wife and a co-worker he did so. Richard Baker was kind enough to play himself, delivering the news with gestures like those in the earlier sketch, and then introducing the "Pantomime Horse Is A Secret Agent Film."

(That was the first time Baker appeared on MPFC. He also made this report in Episode 33: "We've just heard that an explosion in the kitchens of the House of Lords has resulted in the breakage of seventeen storage jars. Police have ruled out foul play. (pause) Lemon curry?"

(Also, Peter Woods delivered this bulletin in Episode 42: "We interrupt show jumping to bring you a news flash. The Second World War has now entered a sentimental stage. This morning on the Ardennes Front, the Germans started spooning at dawn, but the British Fifth Army responded by gazing deep in their eyes, and the Germans are reported to have gone 'all coy'.")



Aren't you guys sorry when you ask me a Python question? :rofl:

16. I agree with you, Rev.
I couldn't think of a more perfect laugh. The closest that I could think of is Emmanuel Lewis' laugh when he played "Webster".

:hi:

17. It's a kind of laugh where you have to check for cracked ribs
from laughing so hard. A kind of laugh that's a purging of the soul it's so good, like watching the funniest stand-up comedy routine you've seen.

:rofl:
