Oh, my...You mean the Queen has censored your input? Oh, my. Yes, that's the original skit, a home movie.<br>I tend to use "Ooooh, Noooh, Mr. Bill!" Way too much. You have reminded me that everyone is prone to cliches. Mr. Bill borders on gallows humor. Many years ago (in a galaxy far away) we had our annual skit night at an oncology center. While our skit (Sid Platinum and the Emetogenics* singing "By, By, Lunch**") won, there was a video of Mr. Bill getting a Bone Marrow Transplant. Unfortunately, it was much closer to reality than any other Mr. Bill skit. Why do we snark at the human condition? I guess Frued would have had something to say about that.<br>(* cis platinum is the worst anti cancer drug for inducing nausea and vomiting, emetogenesis)<br>(** By, By Love - Everly Brothers circa 1957)Dr. Cnoreply@blogger.com
