Subject: Couple of sketches, help please!
Date: 20 Aug 92 13:37:50 GMT
Organization: Martin Marietta

Hi there,

I'm looking for the scripts to a couple sketches, and I hope someone
out there can help me.  

The first sketch is a bit where several (four?) old men go on about how
hard things were when they were young.  I seem to remember part of it going
something like, "We lived in a shoebox in the middle of the road and every
day when I woke up, four hours before I went to sleep, I had to move the
shoebox off the road, and then move it back again that night before dinner."

The second sketch is a John Cleese skit which occurs directly after a play 
about railroad timetables by the fictitious author, Neville Shunt. Cleese
plays a literature prof/critic reviewing the play who gets a bit carried
away.  It went something like, "Many people see Shunt's work as a meaningless
collection of railway timetables, but others, like me who talk loudly in 
restaurants, see a deeper meaning."

Can someone please email me these scripts or send me the names of the sketches
and a place I can ftp them from?

                    Thanks -- Carl

I have a bet with a friend of mine and he says that they all are part of the

Right! Not only are there 135 new posts..but someone got my name!!!
For a long long time...a few months actually..I was the only Michael who
posted regularly...now look at the lot of you..there's another! What am I to do?
Ideas? I could post as Ratboy...afterall it *is* in my name at the beginning...
Or post as Michael I and have the other as Michael II...

*sigh* I guess Ratboy it is...I am known as that in some circles...
