j is for 'the joke'

yes, some may disagree, but in my opinion, this bit is full-fledged comedy gold. its a skit included in the 1969 production entitled, 'john cleese on how to irritate people.' anyone that knows me well at all knows that this skit is my favorite from all the clips on that particular compilation. it showcases the talents of michael palin, graham chapman, gillian lind, and last but certainly not least, miss connie booth as beryl, the wife. with her social gathering going down in crickets and tumbleweeds, she decides to shake things up a bit. the result is, in MY opinion, hilarious.
