Subject: The Full Monty



Apparently, the writer of the film (or one of the head honchos),

was at a roadside cafe one morning in England. He ordered a "cooked

breakfast", with everything that comes along with an English cooked

breakfast. The waitress asked him, "oh, the Full Monty?"

This could be one of those folk origins, of course. I'll ask

around and see if there is an actual, recorded interview with the writer

about the title.

Cheers,

Aaron
