Dear Mr. Cleese,

I must take great umbrage to the suggestions that the coconuts in Holy Grail were some sort of Freudian representations of breasts. Clearly they were testicles.

Yours truly,
Mike Balls

Excellent answer to the question. I am glad I found your blog, I am a fan of your work and currently watching reruns of Fawlty Towers on our local public television. Loving it!

P.S. I read your interview with the Onion AV Club, Mr. Cleese, and thought it was great.

Interesting subject … I often think what it would be like to interview some of my favourite artists. I’m listening to Lucinda Williams right now and thinking “wow it would be great to talk to her..”. In a former life I actually got to do that. But I found it a less than satisfying experience. I was too nervous, the artist was too jaded (sometimes, not always – Billy Bragg was a hoot). I don’t do it anymore – work as a journalist. But the feeling remains when you’re listening/thinking/ to/about a work of art: “I would like to speak to this person, they are so much more relevant than anything else going on in my life right at this moment”. And, I guess, that is what art is all about, making a connection.

I think it’s a shit question found only in the great bowels of the internet.

Seriously good lookin, you really kicked arse with that response, especially if your goal was to make stunning women flee with thoughts of you pooing! I DO think it is an interesting question because adults don’t usually talk about it unless iot’s with their small children (eg: the new ‘no shame in talking about poo and wee’ potty training movement in the UK’) Regarding a wee I think it’s just about getting back to other things as soon as possible and as fresh as possible. In a bloke’s case, according to my friend Luke’not splattering oneself’ As for doing a poo? Now I’m thinking of you and her but generally it’s usually a very um intense um ok no I can’t talk about it or I’ll feel my female mystery spiraling down the john after I click submit!

I hope my interview was alright! You said it was interesting ‘cos I was asking questions you hadn’t been asked before (about sex) and I am very proud of the tape I have where we discuss the word c*nt- as a nice and friendly word. Ha ha ha!x

This entry speaks for itself and I had a lot of fun reading your words. Hilarious! Well, I have never meet the lady you are referring to but the situation you have so indulgently described above brought back a few recollections to me. Everyone of us sometimes runs upon one of these never-to-be-forgotten ,pompous,slightly disconnected morons. The real issue is, how to get out of such situations with a dignity and especially without losing one`s temper. I think you have just showed a perfect example and I can only wish I would have at least a tiny bit of your trained skills and promptness.
