Am I doing this right? I seem to have pushed the waste removal button. This can't be right.

It seems to have some sort of waste valve hookup, like on campers. Maybe there's a hose or something to attach somewhere. OH! The crimson button! But what does the red button do?

you have the hose kinked.
the Red button - better not ask - if you press that one we'll have to charge extra for the cleaning bill...

Ah. Since this looks like the Mad Scientists' Torture Lair add-on to the Delux Evil Underground World Domination complex, I believe it is safe to hazard a guess that it is the "Totally Pointless Self Destruct Button (tm)".

<pause>

No Igors, carry on your excellent work. I'm just here from Quality Control to check up that you are following established procedures. ISO 9001 and all that; I'm sure you understand.

<pause>

No need to look suspicious; you can tell I'm evil as:
  1. I speak with an english accent (well it sounds english to you...)
  2. I look like an unkempt pile of bed clothes with a passing resemblence to Charles Laughton and not an attractive member of the human species
  3. I am carrying a copy of the script of Hellzapoppin' under something that appears to be my arm
  4. Every time the cat glances at me I say "violin string"

<produces clipboard from, well better not to think about it but the eyes of someone in the room just watered>

Now (violin string), I just have a few questions....

Apologies for that; someone rang up asking for "Mrs Jones". No idea what that was about. Now where was I. Oh yes.

First off I need to see you various certificates and professional memberships. Lets start of with the mandatory ones.
  • Your <voilin string>Professional Licence for Anatomical Naughtinesses
  • The certificate of completion of the course on <voilin string>Feline Object Reprogramming
  • and <voilin string>Feline Resurrection, Embalming, Exhumation, Docking, Overhauling, and Omininous Mutilation
  • and finally your professonal membership card for the association of<voilin string>Torturers, Opinion-polsters, Nut-cases, Igors, Gun-runners, and History Teachers

Hmm. Oh. If you could you wipe off whatever those bits cat effluent off them, that would be most appreciated.

Hmm. ahhh. Oh.

Well, how can I put this. An expired Walmart Credit Card, a business card for the head of high volume sales from some company called Tunnock's, a World Wildlife Fund membership card and some kind of music club are not quite what I was after.

Oh, I'm sure you can keep your jobs. This is just paperwork after all.

No, you'll definitely still have the priviledged job titles of Igor and Igor-in-Chief.

Well, if you could just run along and fill these forms in, that would be most helpful.

What? Oh I can look after the cat whilst you're gone -- it shouldn't take you more than a couple of days to fill those forms in.

Violin String! zzzZZAAAPPP! mrrowwwwww! fffttt. grww ffttt. hzzz Bang

See, I'm a natural. You wouldn't happen to have some catnip, a high pressure hose and a centrifuge, would you? Well I'm sure I can make do.

I don't know what you think you are going to do with that high pressure hose, Mr. Scot, but if I were you I'd think again.

<peers out the door>

Achh Haud yer Wheesht. The Igors have gone; great. Dinnae fasch yerself -- after all, I didn't ask for a hoover. Anyhow, quickly connect that hose to the waste value hook-up, and then come help me attach this Acme 10-second delay button press secret agent tie-pin to the red button.

Great. I'll just check the coast is clear. Good now press the crimson button
zZZaBangMrrrow Ftsss.

Oh sorry, I forgot. Here, let me help you take those electrodes off, and connected them to the high pressure pump. Okay.

Coast still clear? Right press the crimson button, and trigger the acme delay.

<fx: Whirrr. Rumble, Bang. Unflushing of toilets. dangerous smells. Extreme rumblings...>

Right, in the best Doctor Who traditions, RUNNNNN!
