Brits are not always mad...
...just the more interesting ones are.

But thanks to the success of Monty Python over here, somone with a British accent- particularly the sort John Cleese has- is often assumed to be a bit daft.

EDIT: I feel the need to add that today, when I'm wearing a nice warm flannel shirt and fairly snug jeans, I got sent into the FAB to do as-builts on the utilities under CMP- which meant that I had to get in my bunny suit with a Tyvek suit over it, pull up a tile on the raised floor and crawl through a maze of piping that was only about 12" apart in places. Result: I'm now hot, sweaty and bruised all over, and my right elbow may never work the same again. GAH!
