overheard in the Castiron household

Castiron: Yeah, either they're doing enough business to justify it, or they've paid off enough debt that they can afford it.

Castiron: Oh yes. Zombies are of vital importance to the restaurant industry; if they don't support you, your restaurant's doomed. That's why every chef bribes zombies. Why do you think that Zagat starts with Z?

Later over lunch we were stumped by a profound question: are there any actors who have appeared in both a Jane Austen adaptation and a Mel Brooks movie? (ETA: Thanks to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
