A scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1975
Arthur

We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of Knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.

Guard

What, ridden on a horse?

Arthur

Yes.

Guard

You're using coconuts!

Arthur

What?

Guard

You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're banging 'em together.

Arthur

So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through —

Guard

Where'd you get the coconuts?

Arthur

We found them.

Guard

Found them? In Mercia?! The coconut's tropical!

Arthur

What do you mean?

Guard

Well, Mercia's a temperate zone!

Arthur

The swallow may fly south with the sun, and the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.

Guard

... Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?

Arthur

Not at all. They could be carried.
