TCM ... I would say, "you crack me up", but there'd probably be a clever response to that, too

If I cant be educational I might as well get some laughs instead.

For real thrill, you should check out the "Eye of Harmony" down in the cloister room at some time in the past.

I am not so sure I want to go there. This Tardis was owned by a lesser time lord who went by the name 'The custodian'. Lord only knows what he may have kept in his closets down there!

I hear his 'Eye of Harmony' was more malodorous than harmonious at times.

There were worse models of Tardis made than the TT Model 40 Mark 3.

Take the BM Model #2 shown here for instance. One to One internal size ratio, limited seating, terrible ventilation.

Mate, Dr Poo is for real.

Dr Poo is a Time and Toilet Lord from the planet of Galah-Free. The Doctor, his "beautiful but stupid" assistant Dana Sock and Dennis the Denim Cat travel around space and time in the TURDIS (Transgalactic Urination Regurgitation Defecation Integration System), a portable toilet which is bigger on the inside than the outside.

It looks like Dr Crapper's unit is the same size inside and out.

Funny thing... This morning my wife was trying to get ahold of me. (I checked the caller ID.) but I had a very pressing problem, so I grabbed the chordless phone off my desk and ran for the John (or Loo or whatever) so there I sat with the telephone in hand waiting for her call.

It was not so long ago
that I was calling Uncle Joe
Out in that house behind my old snow plow
Where I would sit me down to rest
like a snowbird on his nest
And call out asking "Can you hear me now?"
Don't let them tear that little phone building down
Don't let them tear that precious building down
Don't let them tear that dear old building down
There's not another like it in the country or the town
