Does anybody happen to know who it was that wanted the House of Commons to sit naked? I think the idea was to promote humility, and a keen sense of the ridiculous.

It may have been Spike Milligan, and then again it mayn't.

It has always seemed strange to me, somehow, that Henry VIII should have had a granduncle named Jasper.

Most gourmets have money and high blood pressure. To me they will always be misguided men who starve snails, drown ortolans in brandy, gorge geese, and gloat about it.

My own mice just eat whatever I have in the place, including soap. Not an ideal diet, but they'll have to make it do or move elsewhere.
