When Ayatollah Khomeni took over Iran, and changed the system laid down by 
the Shahs of Persia, part of his purge was to remove all windfarms. He had 
been misinformed, being told that windfarms were very large farting 
establishments. This, of course, made their windmills redundant, and that is 
when a Dutch tourist and part-time entrepreneur, who was in the area, bought 
them all as a job lot, and shipped them all back to the Netherlands.

That conjures up a great picture! Scottish comedy acts emitting from Danny's 
head. Billy Connolly got a large percentage of his material and ideas from 
Chic Murray, who was a very, dry, droll and exceedingly funny comedian; 
whereas the krankies are a complete embarrassment to our national pride.
