Anthraxed 11

		See, that shaft there is a bad muther... SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I'm only talking about this Shaft!
Hello, Highness, exit the bottomless pit this way...		We didn't dig it.
I hope there aren’t any gorillas in this thing…		Why would there be gorillas in a vertical cave?
Because they're strong, and they hold everything in caves and tunnels together.		Oh, you mean duct apes. Haven't seen any.

So, you a Viking?		Actually, I'm a Dane. Viking is an activity, not a people. One goes viking. One might as well refer to certain criminal elements as 'the Rapings, the Pillagings, the Raidings...'
Well, there's always the Raiders...		Touchdown!**
Darling, is that beast bothering you?		Oh, no, he’s promised me undine affection!
Oh, she doesn’t have a leg to stand on for that joke.

Uncle Herman!		Um...do I know you?
So, you have offices in York?		Yes, in the Vampire State Building.*
Can you see anyone above us?		No, I lack tunnel vision.
I must say, as evil plots go, this was a very deep one.		Don't patronize me, Arthur.
Me think it more a pun on bottomlessness of cavern.		Oh, gosh, don't explain it to him. If it wasn't funny right away, it never gets better when you explain it.
But wouldn't explaining a cave joke be properly boring?		Don't make me drill the rules of humor into you.
Awl make her regret a joke like that one.		But I think she still didn't get the point.**
I didn't like those jokes even one bit.		If you don't like drill jokes, just chuck the lot of them.
Wait, do you hear that? Somewhere above us...		Yes. The sound of a viking warrior being cautioned against being pedantic in the presence of cave trolls.
By 'cautioned' does she mean 'hit with troll hammer until he cries?'		Well, it's Thrud, and you know how she gets around the Pedantings, or others of their ilk.
Gandalf will Sharee climbing to next level help?		Why would a creature with wings bother to climb out of a pit? Fly, you fool!
What are you supposed to be?		One would think it was fairy obvious.

Oh, my, what's that? Don't worry, he's just holding everything together...
		I could have been gorilla my dreams, but no, Dad had to send me to a vocational school...**
		Now serving CLXII!




Next time I chase something down a rabbit hole, Scully, I'll bring spelunking gear for both of us.		Next time, Mulder, just leave me the car keys.
