You are walking across the sidewalk and then stumble upon a strange sign, which tells you that “you have now entered the jurisdiction of the ministry of silly walks,” and that you have to “commence silly walking immediately.” What do you do? These people did not hesitate to do what the sign demanded them to do — they immediately began to walk in a silly manner.
… Liz Koto's family from Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan, … decided to entertain both themselves and neighbors by asking them to recreate a sketch called "The Ministry of Silly Walks" from the Monty Python comedy troupe's television show.
In case you haven't seen it yet, the sketch centers around a minister with a very peculiar way of walking. The minister meets a man named Mr. Pudey at his work, The Ministry of Silly Walks, where the man asks him for a government grant to develop his own silly walk. Liz, who works for local jurisdiction, told Bored Panda that the way Monty Python pokes fun at the inefficiency of government is exactly why she loves this sketch.
