Skipping from one classic tv feature to another, the word fodder always reminds me of this...

The Eve of The Battle of Bosworth Field, 21st August, 1485

Richard: Edna, fight you with us on the morrow?
Edmund: Er, oh goodness, no! No, I thought I'd fight with the enemy!
King, to Richard: You're, er, not putting him anywhere near me, are you?
Richard: No, no. He'll be somewhere amongst the rabble.
King: Oh! Arrow fodder!
Richard: Precisely.

Edmund: Baldrick, I've always been meaning to ask: Do you have any ambitions in life apart from the acquisition of turnips?

Baldrick: Er, no.

Edmund: So what would you do if I gave you a thousand pounds?

Baldrick: I'd get a little turnip of my own.

Edmund: So what would you do if I gave you a million pounds?

Baldrick: Oh, that's different. I'd get a great big turnip in the country.

Ahhh... classic stuff. :)
