Did you eat a “waffer-thin” mint at the repeated urging of the maitre’d?

I’m absolutely stuffed. Bugger off!
Oh, all right…
YES!! I am Mr. Creosote!!
played by Terry Jones in Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life
Could be alive today, if real, in the sense that he was a middle aged man in the 1980s and alive at the end of the sketch. On the other hand, if real in the sense of laws of physics apply to him, he would not have survived.
