This sketch is _supposed_ to end with Superintendent Parrot (I consider the TV
show to be the canonical version of the routine) turning to the camera and
saying, "If members of the public would only take more care when buyin'
sweeties, they would reduce the number of man-hours lost to the nation, and
spend less time 'avin' their stomachs pumped, and 'angin' about in public
<whoooooffffff!!!!>.

This one is my favorite, after the routine about Defending Yourself Against
Fresh Fruit, which is after my all-time favorite, Alexei Sayle's routine about
the Oscar Wilde School of Self-Defense.

But yes, I see Gunthar's point...if members of the public would only take a bit
more care when attending feasts, they would reduce the number of man-hours lost
to the Kingdom, etc. ;  )
