I'm its ex officio son by dint of having had to endure Monty Python wisecracks for no less than three quarters of my 48 years. I'm related to Monty Hall and the Del Monte food company, as well. In more recent years, I was adopted by The Full Monty. (Do you know what a "monty" is in hacker jargon? Check it out in the Jargon File.)
