Not even when he out a policeman's helmet on his head and says 'copper', then 
puts another one on top if the first and says 'tuppence' ?

Cotty - That's a terrific (but also terrifying) shot! I have no clue who 
Tommy is - but maybe I should be glad :-)

Perfectly timed on the runner passing by

I have one little nit pick... lower right hand corner - piece of 
something light and rectangular draws my eye to it...right on the very 
corner.  Narrow crop bottom or right would get rid of it.. (If you, like 
me, would rather do that than clone it out)

Whaddaya think?

My favourite line of his is when he comes on stage, looks a bit preoccupied,
rubs his mouth and says, "Sorry, my teeth are itching."

Especially when he does that. Whenever I've seen him I just completely fail to 
see anything funny in anything he does. I know what the joke is supposed to be, 
but it's just not funny.

It appears to me that if the image had been analyzed a bit more on capture,
