I remember at school, that my whole generation literally took it upon ourselves, to think up as many innovatively offensive insults to each other that we could muster. It was literally a competition in offensiveness, that was almost guaranteed to end in uncontrolled hysterics, at the climax of a good round robin session. The point being, once you reach the stage where there is nothing left to offend you, you can actually freely talk about anything. Maybe with an occasional giggle thrown in. To me, this is what goes straight to the heart of free speech and the essential social need of the clown and comedian. If you didnt take yourself so seriously, you wouldnt take offense, and would be happy to return the banter in equal measure. You can literally ...speak freely.

The problem is that for most of this history much of the planet, on our maps, was marked with gaps and unknown territories. In other words, there was always another frontier for humans to settle.

When spontaneous stream of consciousness answers are waved off by John saying "That's hideous, you're fired" to each idea, each producer. Turning to the last who's visibly quaking in his shoes, sweaty, panic quickly growing he blurts out " SPLUNGE! " then bolts from the room, expecting to be fired like everyone else. While John repeats the exhortation, in several tones. Finishing the skit with " SPLUNGE!" " I like that."
