SRS, I dangled it in here to see if anyone got it.

The Keith & Jim show is alive and well. It has adopted the sitcom device in which the married couple aren't talking to one another, and instead, talk through the kids. "Tell your father I said ..."

At this stage, I'm assuming people here are actually trying to be humorous, because the English have such a finely-honed sense of humor, and nobody could be oblivious enough to miss the silliness of it all.

Theater of the absurd. I wonder how they could be written into a pantomime.
