A friend of mine just popped her head into the door of the IT helpdesk to check if I was still here. We chatted for a moment and as she turned to leave, she remarked "I'll always think of Danny Kaye when I think of you." We both giggled, remembering the movie that I had introduced her to - 'The Court Jester', starring Danny Kaye.
If you haven't seen it - you NEED to - it's one of the finest classic comedies ever made. I haven't yet met a person who doesn't love it.
And it fits exactly how I feel at the moment.
Without giving too many spoilers, there's a sequence where Danny Kaye is rushed through a series of trials, and after each one, the knights affirm the completion of the test by saying "Yea, verily, yea." Poor Danny Kaye is dazed and befuddled by the whirlwind of events (as those of us watching laugh hysterically, while relating to his bewilderment.)
"Are we almost done packing?" "Yea, verily, yea"
"Are loose ends getting tied up?" "Yea, verily, yea"
