Isn't she (Audrey Hepburn) dead at the moment?

At the moment?? Momentarily?

But since Bill never posted his joke in the previous context of a thread that had drifted onto "French" and "condoms", I do so here.

An American in Paris attempting to buy a black hat made the mistake of asking for "capottes noirs". The clerk asked him why he wanted black ones, he replied that his wife was dead.
"Ah", exclaimed the clerk, "Quelle delicatesse!"

Or are dinosaurs still roaming the earth in Hawkes Bay?

I used to belong to an organization that advocated using bicycles as transportation, viewing bikes as the future, and cars as dinasaurs. The City of Portland was having a transportation fair, and asked the bike people to help park automobiles. One of our members then quipped, "We've been assigned to Jurassic parking."

And throw in a Harrison Ford while you're at it.

Oh definitely.
{Horrified that I forgot HIM!-e}
And as for those remarks about having something to do besides the "whoopie" -- Harrison is an excellent carpenter -- he earned a good living at carpentry before hitting big in the movies. A very handy man to have around. And if you need a carpenter, well, Harrison Ford is a great choice for a "handy man!"

If I may I'll throw OUT David Duchovny and have Val Kilmer thrown in instead. I've no objections to the others.

I learned this weekend that Scott Bakula has been cast as the lastest Star Trek captain. The new series will be a prequel.
