Re: The Good, The Bad & The Banned
Please read into the Monty P bullhorn:
The Place: The biweekly Wembley Bird Watchers Club meeting
The scene: Paul and Ruppert enter the auditorium and take a seat on both sides of an empty chair with a small folded piece of cardboard on the seat
Paul: “Where do you suppose Bob is??” (both peer at the empty chair between them)
Ruppert: “Not sure...He is notoriously on time.”
Paul:Wait....what's that little plaque on his seat??
Ruppert picks it up ...”It says "BANNED"
Paul: “Banned??? But Bob was our expert on the reverse billed Yellow footed Woodpecker!!???”
Paul: Ruppert did you know anything about this?
Ruppert: “No...but you know Bob had some radical views of the mating habits of the Shovel Billed Tutu.”
Enter Bob with a name tag that reads "Wendel"
Paul: “Bob ...Great to see you mate...Says here you were Banned”
Bob: Umm..I'm not Bob....I'm Wendel
Ruppert: Mate...”We know you are Bob.”
Club Director Enters
Dir: “Right....I'd like to call this meeting...Oh here..I see we have a new member...Welcome Wendel!!”
Dir: “Now onto the business of our continuing documentation of the reverse billed Yellow footed Woodpecker”
Dir: “Who has the meeting notes from the last meeting??”
Ruppert raises hand and looks at “Wendel\Bob”…”Sir… Bob has those notes.”
Dir: “Well lads…Bob has been banned but that shall not be talked about in the open.”
“Let’s just say we won’t be seeing him around for a while.”
Both Ruppert and Paul BOTH look at Wendel\Bob
Paul and Ruppert together: “But Bob knew everything we need for this meeting…Can’t we ask him back?”
Dir: “We shall not talk about this in the open and his name shall be stricken from the Wembley Club field watchers guide…I shall no longer speak of that which shall not be spoken of.”
Right…Meeting adjourned!!
