Wonderful. I can just imagine (in my mind's ear, so to speak) someone like
John Cleese reading the upper case lines, and Michael Palin the rest.

I haven't the vaguest idea what that is supposed to represent!

You have to read it out loud, letter by letter, in a very British and very
lazy accent. It's a shame to spoil it, but I'll translate the first line
for you.


F U N E X - eff ewe enn ee ex - "'ave you any eggs?"

F U N E X - eff ewe enn ee ex - "'ave you any eggs?"

Which, to me, leaves M? Maybe last N.

'Am! (As in "eggs n' 'am".)

(An Englishman trying to sound "posh" (when in fact he's not) might well
pronounce "ham" as "'em".)

Obviously he's not watched enough Python.

(and I don't mean the programming language...)

M, part of a pig, commonly prepared by curing, smoking and slicing.

N, preposition commonly found in pub names such as the one referring
to a dog plus a duck.

Yes, one cannot help but imagine John Cleese in the starring role here. But
of course John Cleese has a perfectly "posh" voice when he chooses to use
it, which makes me realise that he was often in the position - whilst
Pythoning, I mean - of an articulate man pretending to be a
semi-inarticulate man pretending to be an articulate man.

Now, imagine a Cockney "chirpy sparrer" trying to imitate John Cleese saying
"F U N E X"... and now imagine John Cleese trying to imitate that
Cockney... and now imagSegmentation fault (core dumped)

I believe it was The Two Ronnies, if memory serves.

Dig the even newer still, yet more improved, sig!

"Ain't I'm a dog?" - Ronny Self, Ain't I'm a Dog, written by G. Sherry & W. Walker.
I know it's not "technically correct" English; but since when was rock & roll "technically correct"?

You're too late. I now have the whole thing firmly rooted into my fake audio
memory - half in a John Cleese accent and the other half mumbled into a
handkerchief by J Random OtherPythoner.
