A thought for a Sunday

"My definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger".

William Connolly, Jr. (b. 1942)

Bonus thought from the Big Yin:

"If Jesus was a Jew, how come he has a Mexican first name?"

Big Yin is one of my all time favourite communicators or aka comedians. I've never seen him live sadly.

Do you recall the Parkinson chat show where Parky said one line and Billy launched into an enthraling monologue that left Parky in tears?

Was that on Parky's last show?

See Part 1, Part 2

Thanks for the reminder Dave. I love Big Yin, but I've never seen him live either.

Great quote as always.. and a big chuckle as I'd kinda forgotten all about The Lone Ranger
