The sketch:

A customer enters a French Military Hospital.

Mr. Praline: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.

(The Doctor does not respond.)

Mr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss?

Doctor: What do you mean "miss"?

Mr. Praline: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!

Doctor: We're closin' for lunch.

Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this
Palestinian Leader what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very
hospital.

Doctor: Oh yes, the, uh, the Bearded Grey...What's,uh...What's wrong
with it?

Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead,
that's what's wrong with it!

Doctor: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.

Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead Palestinian Leader when I see
one, and I'm looking at one right now.

Doctor: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the
Bearded Grey, is'n it, ay? Beautiful plumage! Lovely head dress.

Mr. Praline: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.

Doctor: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!

Mr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
(shouting at the hospital wheelchair) 'Ello, Mister Arafat! I've got a
lovely fresh bowl of dates for you if you
show...

(Doctor hits the wheelchair)

Doctor: There, he moved!

Mr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the wheelchair!

Doctor: I never!!

Mr. Praline: Yes, you did!

Doctor: I never, never did anything...

Mr. Praline: (yelling and hitting the wheelchair repeatedly) 'ELLO
YASSER!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock
alarm call!

(Takes Palestinian leader out of the wheelchair and thumps its head on
the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)

Mr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead Palestinian leader.

Doctor: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!

Mr. Praline: STUNNED?!?

Doctor: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Bearded Greys
stun easily, major.

Mr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough
of this. That leader is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not
'alf an hour
ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein'
tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

Doctor: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the Gaza Strip.

Mr. Praline: PININ' for the GAZA STRIP!?!?!? What kind of talk is
that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?

Doctor: The Bearded Grey prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable
leader, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!

Mr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that leader when I
got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on
its chair in the
first place was that it had been NAILED there.

(pause)

Doctor: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that
leader down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its
beak, and
VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this PAlestinian :Leader wouldn't "voom"
if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!

Doctor: No no! 'E's pining!

Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This Palestinian Leader
is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e
rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the chair 'e'd be pushing
up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the
bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and
joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PALESTINIAN LEADER.!!

(pause)

Doctor: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek
behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the
shop, and uh,
we're right out of Palestinian Leaders.

Mr. Praline: I see. I see, I get the picture.

Doctor: I got a slug.

(pause)

Mr. Praline: Pray, does it talk?

Doctor: Not really.

Mr. Praline: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?

Doctor: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)

Mr. Praline: Well.

(pause)

Doctor: (quietly) D'you.... d'you want to come back to my place?

Mr. Praline: (looks around) Yeah, all right, sure.

That's not funny.
This man was a human being.
Loss of a life, no matter whose life it was, is a tragedy.

The compassion of the panty-nanny knows no bounds. Likewise their
sophistication, intellect, way with words and unmatched skills of repartee.

These ladies all come from the same mold, don' they? One point of view,
ignorant regarding any other possible perspective, and very defensive at the
first indication of being disagreed with.

You can stand proud Half(wit)-Nelson, you are unquestionably a full fledged,
bona fide, myopic nanny. And may I add -- doofus.

Yes, it was funny.
It wasn't in good taste, politically correct, respectful of
certain ethnic and political groups or even original -- but
it was funny.

Actually I failed to find it either offensive or funny. Just lame
derivative
junk.

Frankymole

"Ethnic groups"???

Palestinians aren't even a nation state, let alone a race or ethnic
culture.

What sort of humour do you enjoy? Bearing in mind that humour is
individual.

How does this justify the appaling treatment of them for nearlly 60
years?

Quite so. But you apparently don't see the bonding purpose of ritual!

Imagining what someone might look and act like, who calls himself
Frankymole, certainly is good for a few laughs. (Bearing in mind that humour
is individual)

>That's not funny.

It's not that funny, but only because the dead parrot routine is several
decades old. Children young enough not to have a clue what Monty
Python is may find it funny, but they may not be old enough to remember
all the horrors that Arafat was at the heart of.

>This man was a human being.

So is Coral Euqene Watts. So what?

He was a terrorist.

>Loss of a life, no matter whose life it was, is a tragedy.

There are some people who create a greater tragedy by living than their
death would be.

Take for example, Arafat, who was a terrorist and continued to support
terrorism until he died. He was a roadblock to peae, and he has died of
natural causes. He was not made a martyr and as such will not be
canonized into pseudo-sainthood by his followers, many of whom are also
terrorists.

Ooh allsorts. Douglas Adams, Monty Python (when performed by
proffessional comic practitioners), Jeremy Hardy, Concrete Cow,
Eddie Izzard...

Then all those who died or were murdered by this 'leader' attract the
same level of regret from you ?
He was a mass murderer no different from any of the other mass
murderers.
And the Dead Parrot Sketch was definitely the best vessel to use in
this case.
Brilliant !

It doesn't -- but no-one said it did.

An over simplistic one-sided view of the problems in that area of
the world.
