Mr. Notlob, there’s nothing wrong with you that an expensive operation can’t prolong. ---

It’s an interesting question. Personally I rather adhere to the Bergsonian idea of laughter as a social sanction against inflexible behaviour but… excuse me a moment… And now… ---

[OOG: A movie made in the UK in 2015 hits USA theaters next month: _Absolutely Anything_. Written and directed by Terry Jones, it stars Simon Pegg as a down-on-his-luck everyman who is given amazing powers by space aliens, voiced by Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and John Cleese. He is aided in his quest to figure out what to do with his powers by his talking dog. The voice of the dog, in his last-ever film role, is Robin Williams. There you are. Simon Pegg, Monty Python and Robin Williams. Together. And now for something completely different. ] ---

Let that be a warning to you all. You move at your peril, for I have two pistols here. I know one of them isn’t loaded any more, but the other one is, so that’s one of you dead for sure…or just about for sure anyway. It certainly wouldn’t be worth your while risking it because I’m a very good shot. I practice every day…well, not absolutely every day, but most days in the week. I expect I must practice, oh, at least four or five times a week…or more, really, but some weekends, like last weekend, there really wasn’t the time, so that brings the average down a bit. I should say it’s definitely a solid four days’ practice a week…At least…I mean…I reckon I could hit that tree over there. Er…the one just behind that hillock. The little hillock, not the big one on the…you see the three trees over there? Well, the one furthest away on the right… (_fade_) ---
