Tony Walker

Eating fowl.

I don't know if you do.

I do all the time.

He deflates the atmosphere by treating the birds as though they're on shift.

It's a sort of joke.

Bonnet, as you know, is what Americans would say the hood of a car.

A funeral is a joke.

He means a funnel.

So it's his Danish friend, I think, who doesn't say funnel properly.

Funnel, as we would say, but says something like funeral, someone like that, who knows, attributed to a Danish friend who mangles the word.

and then the drink was her funnel, but of course the joke is it was her funeral.

You get it?

So this is an example of his wordplay.

A goiter.

Okay, so he's talking about, and this is the kind of,

misdirection that we're talking about with these um stage magic and things like that so yeah there's no water in the radiator she talks about putting snow in he thinks you mustn't do that it comes up with the idea why you mustn't do it is a goiter so an enlargement of the neck caused by lack of iodine i had a teacher when i was my maths teacher when i was young had a goiter you never see them now

And the folk belief was that if you drink snowmelt water, which doesn't have any iodine, you will get goiters.

So he's misassociated.

He does this a bit later on as well.

So seized right up just means it's welded itself to solid.
