A Monty Python Quiz
In honor of Meany getting home from Iraq all safe and sound in one place, and to honor that she once gave me a reference that eluded me, I have devised this quiz.
This is a quiz from episodes of �Monty Python�s Flying Circus�. The answers are taken straight from the scripts compiled as �All The Words�. Mind you, there may be variations of these sketches in movies and on record, but this stuff is from the actual television show itself.
I tried to make this quiz so that the hardcore ardents may have to think about an answer or two, but the neophytes could still get a couple of them.
