A. Le Rhone, in his PPRuNe posting on the 17th of November regarding the structural integrity of the 787, used perception and cleverly apt expression to make a sarcastic remark.
But a knack for sarcasm isn't necessarily linked to intelligence. Some highly intelligent people who have autism or Asperger's syndrome, for example, may fail to understand jokes and sarcasm.

They seem to understand social situations better overall. Hence the reference to parties and the hoot.
Monty Python is generally know to tackle death, sex, religion, war, and more with heavy doses of satire and sarcasm. Hence it got included as well.
