I don't know. Perhaps you should ask her?

I'll take whichever goblet is most full, or least empty.

A slightly less well-known classic blunder is this: never go in against a pshrynk when freedom is on the line!

Why has nobody got the (apparent) Princes' Bride reference?

Anyhow, are you lot going to stop arguing about chocolate and medication and come up with some fool-proof plan (and let's face it, I'm a pretty big fool to be asking you this) to get me out of here before I have to resort to the Pandaborg and a drunken llama. After all, the fencing mask is starting to chafe, it does somewhat limit the foods I can eat, and I'd really like to see that new writer's wing they're supposed to have built here-abouts.

Must stop -- looks like the Doc's golf round is over...

Admit it, you wanted to say it was inconceivable...

Memo

Date: 03 March 09
To: All Escape Committee Members
From: The Laddy by the Door
Ref: ID Badges

Based on the recent increase in traffic through the door behind my desk (after hours, please continue to use the escape hatch located below the desk), we are forced to issue ID badges with color coding for levels of access and fees to be charged. Yes, the Frequent Escape Plan has been implemented with quantity discounts starting at your fifth escape.

Please report to my desk at the following dates and times based on the last digit of your IQ score:
0 = 10:00 04 March
1 = 11:00 04 March
2 = 13:00 04 March
3 = 14:00 04 March
4 = 15:00 04 March
5 = 10:00 05 March
6 = 11:00 05 March
7 = 13:00 05 March
8 = 14:00 05 March
9 = 15:00 05 March
Those with an IQ under 10 or who think they are a pshrynk may come when they can.

There is no charge for the ID badge.

Pizza Ape: 'Ere, laddy, did you order a pizza?

Laddy: Yes, I did. You've taken your good time, haven't you?

Pizza Ape: Well, it's as hard to break-in as it is to break-out

Laddy: Whaddaya mean? How do you know? Why...?

Pizza Ape: [quickly] ~ahem~ It was an Aussie special, wasn't it?

Laddy: Yes, with egg, beetroot, bacon and squirrel, but...

Pizza Ape: Well, here you go then?

Laddy: HOLD ON! What's that squirrel doing alive on my pizza?!

Pizza Ape: Well, by the looks of it, he's really pissed off, and charging up a Higgs Bosonic Mass Displacement Cannon

Laddy: But, but, but...

Pizza Ape: I would suggest the duck next time.

Laddy: What?! Duck?!

[KAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOMfffwwwwwwOOOOOOOP!!!]

Pizza Ape: [looking wryly at squirrel] Hmm, yes, "Duck". They never listen, do they?

Squirrel: Giggle
