DMF, you really need to work on your punchlines..."it wasn't there to make french fries" is a much more effective laugh-getter than "he didn't slap that potato there for kicks". I know you'll try harder next time, though.
(...still waiting for the logical reasoning behind a 25-year sentence for putting a potato on the end of a gun...)
I swear, why does it seem like federal laws (firearms in particular) came straight out of a Monty Python script? "Life of Brian" was a terrific movie... excerpt: http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/brian/brian-11.htm
BRIAN:
What will they do to me?
BEN:
Oh, you'll probably get away with crucifixion.
BRIAN:
Crucifixion?!
BEN:
Yeah, first offence.
BRIAN:
Get away with crucifixion?! It's--
BEN:
Best thing the Romans ever did for us.
BRIAN:
What?!
BEN:
Oh, yeah. If we didn't have crucifixion, this country would be in a right bloody mess.
BRIAN:
Guards!
BEN:
Nail him up, I say!
BRIAN:
Guards!
BEN:
Nail some sense into him!
JAILER:
[cough cough] What do you want?
BRIAN:
I want you to move me to another cell.
JAILER:
Ha! [ptoo]
BRIAN:
Aah!
BEN:
Oh, look at that! Bloody favouritism!
JAILER:
Shut up, you!
BEN:
Sorry!
JAILER:
Huhh. [cough cough]
BEN:
Now, take my case. They hung me up here five years ago. Every night, they take me down for twenty minutes, then they hang me up again, which I regard as very fair, in view of what I done, and, if nothing else, it's taught me to respect the Romans, and it's taught me... that you'll never get anywhere in this life, unless you're prepared to do a fair day's work for a fair day's pay!
BRIAN:
Oh, shut up!
[clank]
JAILER:
Ehhh.
CENTURION:
Pilate wants to see you!
BRIAN:
Me?
CENTURION:
Come on!
BRIAN:
Pilate? What does he want to see me for?
CENTURION:
I think he wants to know which way up you want to be crucified.
BEN:
Oh, ha ha ha haa! Ha haa! Nice one, Centurion. Like it. Like it.
CENTURION:
Shut up!
BEN:
Right. Right. Terrific race, the Romans. Terrific.
