Quotes:

Various: This ruthless concentration on one's self is a successful irritant widely practiced by women. A friend of mine once demonstrated this to me at a large party. He stood in the middle of the room and said very loudly, "The trouble with women is that they always take things personally." Four women immediately replied, "Well I Don't."

Not very bloody good (5/10)

Its funny but nowhere near as close to the genius of the Monty Python sketches. If you're a Monty Python fan like myself whos watched every episode about 12000 times, you won't be doing any harm in checking this out.
