Tried to email you this reply, but I kept getting failed deliveries:
sure, it's a joke from a movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
In the scene, a King (King Arthur of Britain) is talking to the guards at another castle and they are asking him questions about two coconuts that he is holding (this is a very stupid movie, but it is really funny too =) They ask him how he managed to get the coconuts, since they do not grow in Britain. He says that they might have been carried by a sparrow. The guards laugh at him and tell him that a sparrow could not carry a coconut. Arthur says that they could "grip it by the husk" to which the guard repeats that it is not how he grips it, but a simple matter of weight ratio (a bird could not carry the much heavier coconut) Then King Arthur replys that maybe a European swallow couldn't do it, but an African swallow could. The guards agree, until they recall that African swallow do not migrate.
I don't know if you followed that, it's a hard scene to describe. That joke about African swallows vs. European ocurrs many times throughout the movie.
Might I suggest that you either rent the movie or watch it when it is shown on television. It will probably make much more sense to you then.
Hope I managed to explain that well enough.
Jaeden BTW, as I said before, the movie is rather silly, but many people find it quite funny, (you have been warned =)
if there was anyone else but nerds reading this, they might think it was racist (Euro vs. African =) But good old reliable nerds always know whats going on =)
