Brain of Britain

Wednesday, 20th August 2008

A friend sent me this: 

I’ve just watched the Weakest Link, which had the following marvelous exchange:

Anne Robinson:  
Which famous British elite military force is best known by its initials?

Contestant: 
Is it the Liberal Democrats?

Anne Robinson: 
No, it's the SAS.

Neither elite, nor military nor a force.  To be fair to the contestant, maybe he misheard Anne Robinson and thought she "effete, drippy farce."
