Oblique Connections.

I was reading earlier about the Haredim who held up a flight from New York to Israel for eleven hours because they refused to sit next to women. It put me in mind of an old Peter Cook and Dudley Moore sketch in which Pete is a film director and Dud a one-legged man auditioning for the role of Tarzan. At one point, the reluctant but diplomatic Pete says:

‘I have absolutely nothing against your right leg. The problem is, neither have you.’

I do make strange connections at this time of night. I take neither credit nor blame for them.
