Right, stop that! It’s silly! Very silly indeed. It started as a nice sketch about old ladies, but now it’s just gotten silly.

His hair’s too long for a vicar, too. And you can tell those aren’t proper keep left signs. Clear out, the lot of you!

My thread,my beautiful thread…  
You have ruined it with your stupid, incomprehensible blather, you malodorous tarts and twits!

That’s what I was looking for.  
Thanks

PS:  
What was jdavis doing in here pissing away his time? No wonder this joint never runs right.

PPS:  
I never depict sarcasm, but I thought this one teeny-tiny time I might make an itsy-bitsy exception. Jerry is a genius and a hell of a good guy to boot(not that it ever crossed my mind to boot him) so I’m sure I’m safe. Still…just kidding Jer,ya big good-humored lug,ya!

No, well we don’t have ‘Rarnaby Budge’ by Charles Dikkens with two Ks, the well-known Dutch author, and perhaps to save time I should add that we don’t have ‘Karnaby Fudge’ by Darles Chickens, or ‘Farmer of Sludge’ by Marles Pickens, or even ‘Stickwick Stapers’ by Farles Wickens with four M’s and a silent Q!!! Why don’t you try W. H. Smith’s?

I did. They sent me here.

-OR-

How about a Dog-Turd and Tonic?

This program was adapted for television by putting it under a piece of wood and hitting it with a hammer.
