Aunt Catherine and The Two Ronnies

Raising children, keeping a house, stirring the sauce, and trying to beat those thieving rat-bastard scientists over in Switzerland to being the first to smash and decipher sub-atomic particles can be exhausting and stressful.

What? You think they have the world's only Large Hadron Collider? Pooh. How do you think I reigned in the physics of quantum theory? (You did read the second post in this blog, right?)

Anyway, when the day gets too long and too stressful nothing makes me laugh so hard as watching clips from The Two Ronnies that ran on the BBC from 1971 to 1987.

The video below is a classic example of Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett's biting wit in "Your Nuts My Lord:"


Even though you know it's coming, the line, "Your nuts, my lord," is delivered so perfectly by Ronnie Barker that it makes you laugh each and every time. "Cheeky swine."
