It is probably an urban legend that this was really written by John
Cleese,
but it's so John Cleesian that if it wasn't, it *should* have been.

Message from John Cleese To the citizens of the United States of America:

Well, in light of that fact that when John Cleese was asked what he
would bring to a desert island, he requested a plaster effigy of
Margaret Thatcher and a cricket bat . . .

I loved Catnipped's post, it made me laugh. I never heard of John Cleese
writing this, but it's certainly in his style.
I shall forward this to Nüle, she will love it. As a German, learning
English from wherever she could before I knew her, I had to take her firmly
in hand when she said "airplane" and "cookie" and "sidewalk" !! We call it
"A". If she says or mails something like that I say to her "That's A!!"
and then we discuss the English phrase.
