Art:

That reminded me of a hilarious sketch from the British comedy show "Monty Python's
Flying Circus." In the sketch, John Cleese was giving a lecture on mollusks to an
openly bored audience. So he changed the focus of his speech to the sex lives of
mollusks. The listeners became enthusiastic right away. "The whelk is such a randy
little fellow!"
