An African swallow or a European swallow?


Those who don't get the reference should immediately turn in their "I'm a nerd" tee-shirts.


People who quote Monty Python aren’t nerds, they’re just old.


Maybe so, but at least my kids would get that reference.


At least you have kids… We only have an empty hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it’s a house to us!


A hole!! You were lucky, we slept naked in the middle of Death Valley and died twice a day before going to school.


I'd dispute that in the UK at least, I think most people of a nerdy disposition tend to at least be aware of the films.


So true! Nerds would quote Adams or Gibson.


nobody expects the spanish inquisition...


One has to know these things when you're a king, you know?


Not if you’re the Burger King :)


Darn, I just bought it too.

Unfortunately (after "cheating" and looking it up) Monty Python was a bit ahead of my time. Or at least outside of my community circle.


or they're just younger than you


Or they are one of today’s lucky 10,000.

bro it's just reference of not-so-funny skit of monty python. not a big deal by any stretch.


He’s not your “bro” little mister, he’s clearly your elder!


sorry sis but i don't care if he's old or not. monty python is boring and if you gatekeep people using "jokes" from it, you should reconsider your life.
