CouchSlobs - A Monument To Human Idleness

Dear faithful readers happy Stephen Fry Appreciation Monday!

Things I have learned watching Jeeves and Wooster

• Jeeves can solve any conundrum

• Butler is incorrect term, the correct term is valet or my favorite - a gentleman’s
  gentleman

• Spitty, Spotty, Stiffy and Stinky are not actual names

• The aforementioned nicknames usually belong to members of aristocracy

• Courting rituals of 21st century – no rules apply although a minimum of agreement should exist between the 2 parties in the affair of engagement and/or marriage

• Courting rituals of 1930s – female would simply inform the unsuspecting male that
  they will in fact marry

• You can train children to say anything if you have plenty of toffee

• Behind any Spitty, Spotty, Stiffy and Stinky there is an uncle or aunt that gives
  her/him the allowance

• Tunes from the 1930s had lovely melodies, but quite frankly dimwitted lyrics

• Finknottle, Cheesewright and Fittleworth do not connote defamatory nicknames nor it means someone is taking a piss, these are actual surnames

• Stars are not stars, but God’s daisy chains

• Once upon a time to rent a flat in Manhattan would set you back only 500$

• Inappropriate attire and/or grooming habits according to Jeeves: white navy mess jackets with gold buttons (favorite attire for waiters of hotel establishments in south of France); Tirol hats, white gangster hats; PJs at lunchtime and/or any type of facial hair

• All potential and wanna-be dictators have a penchant for female lingerie

• What ho and tiddle pip can be used as greetings

• Stephen Fry looks splendid in drag

• Hugh Laurie can actually sing (sorry Mr. Fry!)
