Remember the famous dead parrot sketch by Monty Python? It was based on this dialogue.
Me: "Where's Paco?"
She: "He had a hangover, needed an aspirin and went to the drugstore. Meow."
Me: "Come on. Tell that to the marines."
She: "Im deadly serious. Meow.'
Me: "Yeah right. Do you know what I think?"
She: "Tell me please. Meow."
Me: "Paco's passed on! Paco is no more! Paco has ceased to be! Paco's expired and gone to meet his maker! Paco's a stiff! Paco is bereft of life, he rests in peace! Paco's pushing up the daisies! Paco's metabolic processes are now history! Paco's off the twig! Paco's kicked the bucket, he shuffled off his mortal coil, he run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!"
