Higginbotham

I was struck by the resemblance (in manner and looks) between the twit Higginbotham and Eric Idle of Monty Python fame. I had to laugh every time he opened his mouth, always expecting him to say at any moment, "And now, for something completely different". Did anyone else notice the similarity?

Haha, I truly did. My name's also Higginbotham, so I naturally loved this guy.

In almost every single unit I served in, but especially the Airborne, there were sergeants like this, known cut-ups, who could accomplish the impossible, and always a guy like Higgy.
