I do sometimes love Australian humor. Fun is poked at everything. Nothing is sacred. And ya know they poke as much fun at themselves as they do anybody else. There's a subtle difference between American and English and Australian humor. Seems Americans enjoy poking fun at other people (major Burns from MASH e.g.) whereas the English poke fun at themselves (which I don't find particularly funny in their hamstrung pompous way...saying the word "bottom" and pulling a funny face is not funny to me....Mr. Bean to me is not very funny) and Australians poke fun at everyone and everything including themselves. These observations and generalities and are entirely my own......

I've seen that one a couple of times and it always makes me grin. Thanks, Scotbrit.
Unfortunately, there aren't that many literalist Christians who aren't extraordinarily adept at compartmentalizing, so calling the inconsistent divine morality to their attention is going to get naught but a blank stare. Essentially, you're talking to them in the living room while they're in the garage.

I like that analogy Mac in your final sentence.
But I am in complete agreement with Joyboy - I could never understand what anyone saw that was amusing in Mr Bean. Rowan Atkinson was faintly amusing in other programmes, but what led him into Mr Bean is beyond me.

Both the Other Half and I enjoy the humor of gentle, clueless, nerdy Mr. Bean. Conversely, I'm a big fan of Blackadder while Himself thinks it sucks.
There's really no accounting for tastes I guess. :-)
