1. And yet you have a pot leaf as your avatar.
That really makes no sense. Python owns.

2. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

3. Benny Hill and Monty Python are worlds away from each other. On the
surface they might look similar in their silliness, but I think MP had so much more to say about the world.

9. Just curious... what/who DO you find funny?
Not casting aspersions... just curious what a non-Python would enjoy.

10. I love British comedies, but I never liked either of those two shows either.
Benny's was just stupid (seemed American, in many ways)... and Python was just... meh.

12. He told me he feels the same way about you. But I don't understand the gender thing.
Honestly I never understand the gender thing. I've never noticed any type of gender divide over Monty Python.

14. Never got it either
My parents loved it and so does my husband. I just nod and love that they are laughing. It makes me happy that way.

18. Your mother was a hampster and your father smelt of elderberries.
All three of my girls have most of The Holy Grail memorized.

21. No, the guy thing that women don't get is love of The Three Stooges
and I am a guy who doesn't like The Three Stooges.

No gender thing on Python.
