An "Out of the Trees" in the hand is worth two "Yellowbeards"in the shrubbery

The Corpsemen were right to post the OOTT script but Jim Yoakum simply wants to be seen to be doing the right thing via a vis the Chapman estate.
And next week I'll be encapsulating another protracted multi-thread argument into a single pithy sentence. Join me.

Chapman and Adams were writing Out of the Trees together, right? Chapman was a member of Python, right? What does 'Adams nicked it from rejected Python material' mean? Doesn't make sense if you think about it. Has anyone asked Yoakum what it means? Has anyone asked Adams about it?

It means what it says. You got a problem with that? Ask the late J Tomiczek what he meant. Hey, lemme ask you, what books have you ever written?

It's just that what it says doesn't make sense, is all.
