Where did "spam" get its name?

(With acknowledgements to www.spambutcher.com)

"General consensus is that the term originates from a Monty Python skit.

"A couple are attempting to order breakfast at a restaurant where all the menu items feature spam. The woman doesn't like spam, and asks the waitress if they offer any spam free dishes. Alas - there is no escape from spam.

"Meanwhile a chorus of vikings at another table express their appreciation for spam by chanting "spam, spam, spam, lovely spam!"

"Eventually any hope of meaningful communication is lost in the drone of "spam."

"Sound Familiar?"

A customer says ....
-- just to let you know that the book arrived today, which is fantastic because I ordered it for my husband's birthday, which is today, because it was his childhood favourite book, so it all worked out perfectly, thank you so much!
