    Hi CT64,

    I guess one is supposed to read those books with tongue firmly planted in cheek, eh?

    Oh CT, what a hoot, I laughed all the way through the policeman one.

    Very tongue in cheek I think.

    How sad when a police arrest people because they're black or of
    a different race.

    How funny, the Americans didn't get it and the English did, surprise? No, not really, subtle humour isn't an American forte it would seem ... gosh I'm good at blanket statements!!

    Of COURSE it's tongue in cheek!!

    Tongue in cheek, indeed (And here's another example that in MIMF I get to learn pharases I have never known/herad before).

    Tongue in cheek, is a little tricky to define, certainly shouldn't be taken literally!

    Also cheeky, as in satire.

    Holy crap, that was hysterical! I laughed until I cried. Thanks for that. I haven't laughed like that in a while...at least not since the last time I watched Canadian Idol (not the best, but I digress).

    To borrow a line from Young Frankenstein, (in reference to the Constable)
    ... "he must have an enourmous schwanstica!"

    p.s. the stuffed horse killed me. Was the story authored by Monty Python?
