Back in the old days here at LKG, we had a monthly video showing for this
sort of thing. We did a series of 4(?) of those John Cleese videos. I sat thru
two of them. Yes, they were funny, and one thing that made them funny was the
British humor!
Today nobody here has time to set up this sort of thing, and nobody has time
to attend.
