Celebritme: /sel leb brit mee/ Wally Wannabee fancied himself a dead ringer for John Cleese, the British Monty Python Comedian. He particularly thought himself as a perfect Basil Fawlty. In his little town, where most had seen the Fawlty Towers series, since they had access to a PBS station, Wally thought himself a celebritme. His famous line was to address his long-suffering wife as “Sybill, my litle nest of vipers” and his Mexican neighbour, Felipe, as “Manuel, he’s from Barthalona”. The only way his wife could get him to do any housework was to tell him that the Health Inspectors were in town. (But don’t mention the War!)
