In all seriousness, congrats to Andy Murray for winning Wimbledon yesterday. Seventy-seven years since the last Brit won the prestigious tennis tournament since Fred Perry back in 1936. It's kind of like the Cubs' streak, but unlike the Brits, the Cubs have no chance of winning the World Series... ever.
With that out of the way, I am constantly reminded of Monty Python's "Science Fiction Sketch" where tennis-playing alien blancmanges turn the entire population of England into Scotsman. The only man who stands between the blancmanges and their dastardly attempts at winning Wimbledon? A Scotsman named Angus Podgorny. Looking back, I can't help but laugh now that a Scotsman, Murray, has proven the Pythons right and wrong at the same time!
I wonder what the Pythons are thinking right now...
