Hmmmm... Bonnie and Clyde, Nixon and Agnew, the Menendez brothers, Hoover and Tolson ... this one has a lot of potential.

I'm thinking of going for Burke and Hare. I feel that celebratory verse has rather overlooked them.

Dammit, Brian, that was my idea.
Masters and Johnson? Benson and Hedges?

No reason why we shouldn't both do it, Rob. And may the best man win!
Nah ... on reflection, I retract that last statement. Bazza already gets more than his fair share.

Yeah, that's what worries me.
Still, it's statistically likely that I'll outlive all of the rest of you on here, and then all the prizes will be mine for the taking. All mine! Hahahahahahaha! You hear me? Mine! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
So I'll give the graverobbers a miss for now.

It'll be comedians for me, I suspect: Pete and Dud, Morecombe & Wise, Cameron & Clegg.
