| Facts: |
| In their American concerts, Python would occasionally Americanize certain terms they thought the audience wouldn't understand. Considering what their fanbase was (and still is) like, they needn't have bothered. In this instance, they changed "choc-ices" to "Good Humors". Since the point was that the vendor had only the albatross to sell, it didn't really matter what the customer asked for, culturally or otherwise. (Stavro Arrgolus) |

| Song Lyrics: |
Man (John Cleese):
ALBATROSS!
ALBATROSS!
ALBATROSS!
ALBATROSS!
ALBATROSS!
ALBATROSS!
ALBATROSS!
Customer (Terry Jones):
Um, er, I'll have two Good Humors, please.
Man: I haven't got any Good Humors. I just got this bloody albatross! ALBATROSS!
Customer: What flavor is it?
Man: It's a bird, mate! It's a bloody bird! It isn't any bloody flavor! ALBATROSS!
Customer: It's got to be some flavor. Everything's got a flavor.
Man: Alright...it's bloody...albatross flavor; it's bloody sea, bloody bird, bloody flavor...ALBATROSS!
Customer: Do you get wafers with it?
Man: Course you don't get bloody wafers with a bloody albatross, innit? ALBATROSS!
Customer: I'll have two, please.
Man: I've only got one, ya c********r!
(audience howls, John shouts 'albatross' until Graham arrives)
Colonel (Graham Chapman): Stop that! That's filth. Off you go; you're not even a proper woman! Right, you're supposed to be on stage starting the next little sketch. Start the vignette! Cue!
