Dead parrot: He's only sleeping

[trof]

Is it just me, or do the stories about Arafat sound like the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" episode?

This parrot is in a coma.
No, no...he's just sleeping.
But I can't wake him up.
It's a very deep sleep. He's just fine.
Well, when will he wake up?
When he is rested.
How long will that be?
Only he knows.

1. Are you suggesting that

Yasser is pining for the fjords?

2. I was thinking of the "Bring out your dead" scene

from Holy Grail. You know -

Corpse - "I'm not dead yet!"

Collector - "I can't take him if he's not dead."

Man carrying corpse - "Well, can't you wait? He'll be dead in a moment."

Corpse - "I'm feeling better."

Man - "You are not. You'll be stone dead in a moment."

or something like that.
