[edit] Did you know that he used to deride the Pope of Rome?

Did anyone else know that he used to deride the Pope of Rome through doing skits in which he was dressed up as the Pope of Rome & seated on a sedan chair? I know that his other famous way of poking fun at the Catholic Church was to dress up as a priest. - (Aidan Work 06:12, 13 December 2005 (UTC))


I wonder about the cited toast "Goodnight, thank you, and may your god go with you". I remember it as "...may your feet go with you." Was this done only once for the effect or was this the actual form? 213.115.59.220 14:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I watched him often and it was always "...and may your god go with you."

And yes he poked fun at the Pope just as he did Church of England clergy and many others. Dabbler 18:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
