He talks at length about Japan's ageing population, using a variety of acronyms until just before the meeting is interrupted... "...and then we can all get our Special Homes In The Sun, or shi-" And that's when the meeting is interrupted. |

Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 706 Joined: 19 Dec 2007 | Yes yes, "keep it real". But some of these are more hilarious when they're found in comedy. Such as this gem from Red Dwarf: "I call it 'The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisations and their Rehabilitation Into Society'. Erm, one drawback with that - the abbreviation is 'CLITORIS'." |

That one reminds me of the "Coilition for the Liberation of Itinerate Tree-Dwellers" or C.L.I.T. from Jay and Silent Bob Strike back...It's an off shoot of "Liberate Apes Before Imprisoning Apes" Movement...or L.A.B.I.A. |
