         Your brain, for example, is so minute, Baldrick, that if a hungry
          cannibal cracked your head open, there wouldn't be enough inside
                          to cover a small water biscuit.

                      you are about to give phenomenally good.

                       election on issues, not personalities.
                            Vincent Hanna : Why is that?

          Edmund BlackAdder: I believe, sir, that the doctor is trying to
         tell you that he is happy because he has finished his book. It has

               Prince George : Yes. Well, I'm a slow reader myself.

                               kill you, Blackadder.
         Edmund Blackadder: I rather think that is was you they after, your
                                     Highness.
                      Prince George: What makes you say that?

          I was then taken and hung by the larger of my two testicles from
