"...sometimes you can be a real prick." What a punchline!

Circumcised of course...

I came her to say sometimes you can be a real prick jostled something loose in my memory - maybe Billy Connolly? I went looking, and rediscovered The Crucifixion. My mum and dad had this on an LP, and I recall sitting in our freezing flat in Pollokshaws, my family with me, laughing at his outrageous irreligious humour. If you can handle the Glasgow accent, it's still absolutely hilarious (at least to the Scottish ear). So, no, I didn't track down the "Sometimes you can be a real prick" ear worm, but it was another ripper of installment, and I got to revisit old times :)

Fantastic. I can picture Connolly calling somebody a prick right now. That line reverberates with me too. I think I stole it from an old Superman joke where he gets a man to plummet to his death. Classic.
