- Episode twenty-something of the second season of "Monty Python's
- Flying Circus" was shown on TV here in Finland a couple of weeks ago.
- It ended with a view of a sign attached to a fence: "HOSPITAL -- sorry
- no cheques".
-
- So, in the early 70's this kind of thing was a Monty Python joke.
- Nowadays, I've heard, you might not be taken into a hospital without
- the proper health insurance (in the USA). Spot the looney! Is it me or
- the Western Civilization (tm)?
