Wikipedia:Stop that, it's silly

Right! Stop that!

Just like Monty Python's Flying Circus, sometimes, discussions on Wikipedia get a little bit beyond the grounds of sensibility, and so sometimes The Colonel needs to make an appearance to urge people to stop whatever they're doing instantly before things get too silly.

To bring the colonel into the conversation, simply place {{colonel}} on a user's talk page.

• Make sure the user gets the joke before you randomly bring the colonel in.
• For similar fish-based variations, see {{trout}} and friends.
