(With apologies to Monty Python)
A mob gathers outside Les's office/cube and drags him off:
Villager: We have found a spammer, may we burn him?
Crowd: BURN!! BUUUURN HIM!
Bedevere: But how do you *know* he is a spammer?
Villager: He looks like one!
Othim Villagers: Yeah! He looks like one!!!
Bedevere: Bring him forward.
(a young man is puhed through the crowd of villagers to the platform. He
is dressed all in black, has a carrot tied around him face on top of
him nose,
and a black paper hat on him head. He talks funny because him nose is
closed by the carrot.)
Witch: I'm not a spammer, I'm not a spammer!
Bedevere: Er,...but you are dressed as one.
Witch: THEY dressed me up like this.
Villagers: No! nooo! We didn't! We didn't!
Witch: And this isn't my nose, it's a false one!
(Bedevere lifts up the carrot to reveal the man's real nose, which is in
fact rather small.)
Bedevere: Well?
One Villager: Well, we did do the nose.
Bedevere: The nose?
Villager: And the Hat. But he's a spammer!
Villagers: Yeah! Burn him! Burn! Burn him!
B: Did you dress him up like this?
Villagers: NO! No, no, no, no, no, no...
One Villager: yes.
Villagers: yes. yes. yes. A bit. yes. a bit. a bit.
Anothim Villager: (hopefully) He has got a wart...
B: What makes you think he is a spammer?
Villager: Well, He turned me into a newt!!
(pause)
Bedevere: a newt?
(long pause)
Villager: I got better...
Villagers: BURN HIM anyway! BURN! BURN! BURN HIM!
B: Quiet, quiet, quiet, QUIET. There are ways of *telling* whether he
is a spammer!
Villagers: Are there? What? Tell us, then! Tell us!
B: Tell me. What do you do with spammers?
V: BUUUURN!!!!! BUUUUUURRRRNN!!!!! You BURN them!!!! BURN!!
B: And what do you burn apart from spammers?
Villager: More spammers!
Othim Villager: Wood.
B: So. Why do spammeres burn?
(long silence)
(shuffling of feet by the villagers)
Villager: (tentatively) Because they're made of.....wood?
B: Goooood!
Othim Villagers: oh yeah... oh....
B: So. How do we tell whether he is made of wood?
One Villager: Build a bridge out of 'im!
B: Aah. But can you not also make bridges out of stone?
Villagers: oh yeah. oh. umm...
B: Does wood sink in water?
One Villager: No! No, no, it floats!
Othim Villager: Throw him into the pond!
Villagers: yaaaaaa!
(when order is restored)
B: What also floats in water?
Villager: Bread!
Anothim Villager: Apples!
Anothim Villager: Uh...very small rocks!
Anothim Villager: Cider!
Anothim Villager: Uh...great gravy!
Anothim Villager: Chimries!
Anothim Villager: Mud!
Anothim Villager: Churches! Churches!
Anothim Villager: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck!
Villagers: (in amazement) ooooooh!
B: exACTly!
B: (to a villager) So, *logically*...
Villager: (very slowly, with pauses between each word)
If...he...weighs the same as a duck......he's made of wood.
B: and therefore...
(pause)
Villager: A Spammer!
All Villagers: A SPAMMER!
(they do consequently weigh him across from a duck on Bedevere's largest
scale, and he does indeed weigh the same as the duck.)
