Ah Yes - But he could have been a judge.

But he never had the Latin. Never had sufficent of it to get past the judging exams. They are noted for their rigor you know? People come staggering out saying "Ye gads, what a rigorous exam!"

So he bacame a minor instead a coal minor. Their exams arn't nearly so rigorous, they only ask you one question, "Who are you?" And he got 50% on that.

I liked Peter Cook so much that I memorized entire monologues from Beyond the Fringe.

So all, in all, he would rather have been a judge, because as a minor, when you get too old, and sick and stupid to do the job properly, they let you go....well the very opposite applies to judging.
