BS: Dead Parrot et al Freebie

Went into WH Smith a couple of days ago and they're giving away a cd with half an hour of various BBC classic comedy sketches such as Monty Python's "the dead parrot sketch", The goon's "A gentleman's rest home in Sussex", Harry Enfield's "Tim Nice-but-dim meets a scotsman" and Tony Handcock's "Agricultural Handcock". Yes it's an obvious marketing ploy but funny for all that. Jude

I guess WH Smith is a store somewhere, right? Pobably no outlet in Orlando FL?

I was wondering why anyone would want a free dead parrot!

yes WH Smith is a bookstore chain in the UK and the dead parrot sketch is a classic piece of total lunacy by Monty Python
