<div>Yes, Damien's pun went right over my head, or around my head, or under my head, anyway..., it went somewhere! lol I grew up on Monty Python and so as a hapless American guy I need prompts such as applauding old ladies so I know when a well-educated subject of the Queen is displaying their fine sense of humor. I don't want to "look beyond the mark" and overcomplicate things. And to think just the other day I was listening to Spider Robinson's classic "Callahan's Crosstime Saloon," where in a fun scene the characters gathered together at the bar to celebrate "Punday." : ) <br>
