The Earth needs more laughter and Monty Python

There’s a Simon Munnery joke, often repeated by comedian Stewart Lee, which says something to the effect of: “If the crowd’s behind you, you’re facing the wrong way.” It actually reads more like a philosophical maxim than a gag, and implicit in it is a suspicion of universal acclaim.

Monty Python’s 50th Anniversary Celebrated With ‘Extremely Silly’ Event


The men fighting Florida’s python epidemic1843 

A lawyer’s dog was running around the neighborhood unleashed and he entered a butcher shop and stole a roast.

  The butcher went to the lawyer’s office and asked the lawyer, “If a dog is running unleashed and steals a piece of meat from my shop, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog’s owner?” The lawyer answers, “Absolutely.”

 “Then you owe me $8.50,” the butcher said, thinking he was clever and outwitted the lawyer. “Your dog was loose today and stole a roast from me today.” Without a word, the lawyer wrote the butcher a check for $18.50.

 Later that week, the butcher received a letter. He opened the letter and found an invoice from the lawyer. 

 The invoice was in the amount of $250 due for a consultation.
