Loretta (LOL)
It appears that fools with a sense-of-humour-bypass simply cannot distinguish comedy from reality, and seem to have taken this to heart. (shrug)
And, just to think, when Life of Brian was released back in 1979, the brouhaha was over the depiction of Christ. How things change. And not always for the better.
- Stan:
I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me Loretta
- Reg:
What?
- Stan:
It's my right as a man
- Judith:
But why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
- Stan:
I want to have babies
- Reg:
You want to have babies?
- Stan:
It's every man's right to have babies, if he wants them
- Reg:
But, you can't have babies
- Stan:
Don't you oppress me
- Reg:
I'm not oppressing you, Stan, you haven't got a womb. Where's the foetus gonna gestate? You're gonna keep it in a box?
- Judith:
Here, I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans, but that he can have the right to have babies?
- Francis:
Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother…sister, sorry
- Reg:
What's the point?
- Francis:
What?
- Reg:
What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies, when he can't have babies?
- Francis:
It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression
- Reg:
Symbolic of his struggle against reality
Love 'em or whatever, the jolly chaps working under the big top at Monty Python's Flying Circus predicted the current times more than once. Unlike Loretta, though, Jack's father was able to live the dream.
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay I sleep all night and I work all day I cut down trees, I eat my lunch I go to the lavatory On Wednesday I go shopping And have buttered scones for tea I cut down trees, I skip and jump I like to press wild flowers I put on women's clothing And hang around in bars I cut down trees, I wear high heels Suspendies, and a bra I wish I'd been a girlie Just like my dear Papa
