I LOVE Life of Brian.

But there's this one old Monty Python sketch that always makes me grin when I think of it, and that tends to be often. It's very like something from Far Side (which I also love), but even so, I'm not sure why it has stuck with me like it has.

There're these two old ladies watching TV. On top of the TV is a glowing plastic penguin, and the two of them start arguing over why it's there. Then, inexplicably, it explodes. One of the ladies jumps and yells, "PEANUT BUTTER!"

"Why'd you say that?"

"I panicked!"

So, there you are! I might have known it would end up like this. To think of all the love and affection I've wasted on you. Well, if that's how you treat your poor old mother in the autumn years of her life, all I can say is, 'Go ahead. Be crucified. See if I care.' I might have known it would end up like this. Sex, sex. That's all young people are interested in nowadays. I don't know what the world's coming to.

Thanks, Willie. That's actually a slightly different version than the one I remember, but still pretty funny.
