Refuge in Audacity/Radio: Difference between revisions

* In [[The Navy Lark]] schemeing [[CMOT Dibbler|CPO Pertwee]] explains that the secret to scamming the Navy out of money is never to indent one of anything unless it is a Battleship. If you need 1 special luxury chair, indent for half a dozen. [[Hilarity Ensues|He ends up inadvertantly requistioning every chair int he Navy including the First Sea Lord's chair]] before it was put a stop to by [[Only Sane Man|Lt-Cmdr Price]].

** Lt-Cmdr Price's "Not Received file" which he uses to keep track of all the orders that he'd rather not obey and doesn't intend to reply to. The sender generally gets transferred, promoted, retires, or just plain gives up long before Price does. In the rare instances it doesn't work Price will send a top priority, double urgent, angry memo demanding to know why the sender hasn't responded to his questions (which he hasn't sent) about said orders. That generally shuts them up in embarrasment and he hears no more about it.

** Billy West's voice impersonations deserve special notice here.

* ''[[The Frantics]]'': This trope is the reason why the "Last Will and Temprament" sketch has become such a cult comedy classic: bequeathing "A boot to the head" (literally!) can be surprising and amusing when done once, but doing it to ''everyone'', puncuating with repeating "And another for Jenny and the Wimp!" by an insane lawyer reading the will is hilarious!
