Quote comp – quote 5

Bit of trouble with this one. The quote was:
“Bereft of life, it rests in peace!”

Karma Girl was the first to answer:
Oh, this one’s easy – the dead parrot sketch, with John Cleese as the customer and Michael Palin as the shopkeep.
Do I get a prize for getting it right twice in a row?
A lapdance and a carton of beer would do nicely, thanks. [Karma Girl]

Which is right, by the way. But did you notice the ‘problem’ with what Karma Girl said? Polter-Cow did:
Uh oh, Karma Girl just pronounced herself right. She can’t do that. She should be disqualified and slapped around with a dead fish. [Polter-Cow]

The bit of Karma Girls answer that Polter-Cow refer to is:
Do I get a prize for getting it right twice in a row?

So I have to determine if the rules have been broken. In my opinion (decided before Polter-Cows complaint) Karma Girl was merely asking in case she DID have the right answer and was in no way informing people that she did have the right answer. So it stands. However, she is going to get a poke with a slightly grilled haddock for puting me in this position. As is Polter-Cow.

This weeks quote is:
“Then work came and made us free”

Good luck.

And no arguing. Play nicely children.
