#9  sorry about being so analytical, but four people on a motorcycle?

I guess you've never been to India or Pakiland. Four people on a motorcycle is quite common. I've seen whole families on 150cc Honda Hero's. Fascinating.

#5  I guess with 4 people on it a motorcycle can't move fast enough to get out of the way of a steam roller.

#3  Seagoon: Constabule! I demand that you arrest the driver of that hundred-ton, anthracite-filled, reciprocating engine steam roller!
Willium: Let's hear the charge.
Seagoon: I'll play it for you
Fx: trumpet charge, explosion
Willium: Thank you.
Seagoon: Now I want you to arrest the driver of that steam roller!
Willium: Oh, well, well, righto, where's the driver?
Moriarty: Sapristi nyockos! Yaka-baka-boo! Who wants to know? I am the man.
Willium: Now then, this gentleman here says that you're the driver of that steam roller, sir.
Moriarty: So do I.
Seagoon: That makes two of us. Constable, arrest the driver, I have witnesses!
Moriarty: Who are they?
Seagoon: You and me.
Moriarty: You can't arrest me!
Seagoon: And why not?
Moriarty: [laughs]
Seagoon: [laughs]
Moriarty: See that plate on the steam roller? See the letters on it? C.D.
Willium: Cor blimey!
Moriarty: No, Corp Diplomatique! I have diplomatic immunity!
Willium: Get me out of here, call a doctor!
Moriarty: Sapristi yakamacaca. Diplomatic immunity means I cannot be arrested, sued, disfranchised, blackballed, guillotined, run out, left in hock, charged, hung, drawn or quartered, or needle-noddle-newed! You see, I happen to be the deputy vice pomfrit of the Titicacan delegation.
Seagoon: Then why are you driving a steamroller?
Moriarty: My feet hurt me.

"That is funny this guy had metal bones, surgeon Ali"

"It is not a bone, it is a screw from the motorcycle, surgeon Mahmood"
