Ain't half known some idiots in my time.
One fella, thick as shit, thought he was clever. Used to come out with things like:

You mean Ark of the Covenant?
Yeah.
(Power of God?)
I'd sell it for loads of money!
Eh?

The smell of autumn is in the air, like a pencil being sharpened in a damp church by someone who has recently smoked a pipe.
