Humour, with a capital U.

Larry
hey, do you know why science students and engineering students are so enamoured with british comedy shows?
Sam
no i don't, why are science students and engineering students are so enamoured with british comedy shows?
Sam
it's a joke, right
Larry
oh god. no, it's not a joke
i'm genuinely curious.
it's either these folks (of which I include myself) are secretly british
Sam
because they are smart
Larry
or the brits are secretly a nation of hardcore geeks
nono, me being in the group automatically trumps your 'smart' theory
Sam
seriously though it is interesting
Larry
hey, did you know the python language was named after monty python?
Sam
really?
Larry
was that an unknown fact to you, Oh Conqueror, Oh Colonist?
Larry
yuppers, weird eh?
Sam
very weird
Sam
but totally understandable
Larry
i wonder, do you practice naval maneuvers at the high school level and such? secretly hoping for a return to the reliance of naval hedgemony?i think geeks just understand absurdist humour better
or are just not as self conscious to laugh at it
i think i read about that somewhere in the holy book of armaments
Sam
if you really were secretly a brit you would know the answer to that
or maybe it's a double bluff
Larry
if i was secretly a brit i'd remain a stiff upper lip while you tried to torutre the truth out of me
Sam
you secret brits are a cunning lot
Larry
then when you threatened my manberries, i'd say "do you expect me to talk?" the answer to which, is so self explanatory, I won't insult you by telling you.
Larry
hey! us secret brits are just as good as you out in the open brits!
Larry
oh snap, blew my cover
