Ask Francis' Knee

May 2005


Dear Francis' Knee,
Do you find it hard to type replies? y'know, being a knee with no
digits n' all... I've tried typing with my knees and feel quite frustrated
when I can't type under 9 letters at a time. How do you cope?
- Mam


Dear Mam,
Yes, typing can be a pane but I now use voice recognition software
witch I have found to be of grate help.

Regards,
Francis' Knee

Dear Francis' Knee,
Do you like AFL football? If so what team do you support?
- Brittany Tarrant


Greetings Brittany,
I can't stand AFL, but I am a mad keen Swans supporter.

See you at the game,
Francis' Knee

Dear Francis' Knee,
You said in my previous question that you were going to get an
ice cream, what flavour may i ask?
- Paris Crawford

Hello again Paris!
I am actually lactose intolerant so if the shopkeep does not stock
gelati I just ask for a waffle cone and lick that instead.

Intolerantly yours,
Francis' Knee

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D ear Francis' Knee,
Whilse reading the answers you have given to all these questions
i couldn't help but notice that you sound like one of Francis' characters of
'Full Frontal' Phil Toinby, the weather man. Is he one of your favourites?
Love Celeste xox


Well, Celeste,
Yours is a commonly held belief that Francis actually played the
character of Phil Toinby. It was, in fact, a look alike. He was one of
my favourites, the actor, not the character, he used to buy me
chocolates. Unlike Francis, who didn't.

Sincerely,
Francis' Knee

Dear Francis' Knee,
Are you a real family knee and if so how's the life of a father or mother
[you never know] treating you?
- Mavis Echinacea

Dear Miss Echinacea,

I am a family knee, of sorts. I have an adopted son, Greg (23) who is currently studying the mating rituals of deep sea molluscs in Trinidad. I also have a daughter aged 4 from a previous relationship. I rarely see her; mostly because of my eyesight problems (see the entry under April).

Lovingly Yours,
Francis' Knee


Dear Francis' Knee,
I am beginning to think that I have an alter ego, what advice can you give to
me to help and eventually overcome my situation/problem?
- Mavis Echinacea

Hello again!

I do feel your agony – for I too have a similar problem. My alter ego lives in a different state (usually of paranoia), drives an older model car, has a different job, different beliefs, different family situation, eats too much chocolate and from what I can tell is the opposite sex.

My advice to you is just to wait it out, eventually your alter ego will tire of you, have a film commissioned and move on to other things. For the time being, I suggest you feed it on a diet of plankton, algae and ginger ale. If it should cause you further problems, see your doctor.

Doubly Yours,
Francis' Knee


Dear Francis' Knee, 
Where can I get a soundbite of Shaun doing his Christopher Walken impression?
- Papyrus

Dear Papyrus,
I once got a dog bite that looked a lot like Shaun doing his Christopher Walken impression. As for your soundbite, I am afraid I cannot help you. Although I do recommend you go and see The Extra, as it needs all the help it can get.

Inaudibly Yours,
Francis' Knee
