Man-Eating Roll-Top Writing Desk



The Man-Eating Roll-Top Writing Desk is one of the three antagonists of the Monty Python sketch "Scott Of The Sahara", with the other two being the Crazed Desert Lion and the Giant Electric Penguin.

Biography
The final narration of the sketch tells the viewer to "See Miss Evans pursued by the Man-Eating Roll-Top Writing Desk". The camera then cuts to Miss Evans (an attractive young blonde woman) being chased by the desk through a cacti patch. The desk opens and closes its mouth as it roars at Miss Evans. Eventually she outruns the desk, however the cacti horribly tears her clothes, leaving her in her lingerie as the announcer goes on to the next sketch.
