Yay, I'm glad I made you laugh. :D Quote attributed to Louis XV when Voltaire left France for Prussia: "That's one less madman at my court, one more at his." I imagine he was snacking on metaphorical popcorn as the soap opera story unfolded.
I admit the part that made me laugh out loud was when I realized the Monty Python quote was a *perfect* fit for Voltaire (you should imagine it applied with heavy layers of irony on my part).
Lol, what I was actually thinking was something along the lines of "Neither Voltaire nor Fritz gets along with ANYONE, do they? Kind of not so great to get them together..." Though I suppose that is not so different from what you said...
Yep, that's definitely a big part of it! I tried to include as much parallelism in the summary as possible. Those two... *affectionate eyeroll*
