"LONDON (AP) — Terry Jones, one of the founding members of comedy troupe Monty Python, has been diagnosed with dementia.

In a statement released by Britain's film academy, a representative says the 74-year-old has primary progressive aphasia, which erodes the ability to use language. As a result, Jones can no longer give interviews."

Dammit. All that brilliance, fading away...

Dammit indeed.

Nobody expects the dementia diagnosis.

Aphasia is often accidentally humorous. My own personal brain injury produces aphasia at moments... I find myself unable to find even the simplest words sometimes. Asked what I wanted for breakfast, I found myself saying "Unborn Avians ! Sauteed and combined energetically with bovine mammary secretions and a bit of sodium chloride ! "

My wife looked at me in horror, and my youngest son explained "He said scrambled eggs with salt."
