    We watched Dave Allen gowing up in the 70s and I continued to watch his TV shows into the 90s. As JWs we enjoyed his poke at religion and I still do. One memorable sketch was not that funny but so very sharp:

    The scene showed a pastor (Allen) entering a church, "Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa" on a sign on the door. Upon entering the sanctuary the pastor spots a black boy on his knees. The pastor shouts, "What are you doing in here?" To which the boy responds, "I am scrubbing the floor, father." "Oh, alright then," replied the pastor, "just don't let me catch you praying in here."

    A great man and a great observer of the absurd.
