The Loss of Terry Jones 1/23/20

The skit that comes to mind with Terry is a skit called “The Yorkshiremen” where he and three other members were sitting around as old men discussing how hard they had it as kids. “Well, of course, we had it tough,” Terry started out, “We used to have to get up out of the shoe box [in the middle of the road that 150 of them were living in] in the middle of the night and lick the road clean with our tongues. We had to eat half a handful of freezing cold gravel, work twenty-four hours at mill for four pence every six years and when we got home, our dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.”
