00:00 Recently, I lost a dear friend, Jack Hobbs.
00:06 I'll put that away for him.
00:10 He is the subject of this next story.
00:16 He went to Cyprus for his holidays.
00:18 And whilst he was out there, he basically got the shits.
00:25 When he got back to London, I went to work on a Monday, he still got them.
00:31 And they were pretty bad.
00:32 And he thought, "Good heavens, I can't wait to go home in a rush hour with the shits like
00:38 this."
00:39 They were getting earlier trains.
00:40 So he started to walk towards the station, and he did something for him which was fatal.
00:50 He coughed.
00:51 So he tried, he went into a man's wear shop and said, "Look, can you make a pair of underpants
01:05 39 size and inside leg long trousers, no matter what color they are."
01:11 He went outside because the aroma around him was pretty heavy.
01:15 And he went back in and he finally got the chapgay and the goods in the plastic bag.
01:21 And when he got to the station, he realized that it was quite late and the train was full.
01:28 And so was he.
01:32 So he got in on the train, he got into the toilet and locked the door.
01:40 He started to sport himself with these awful trousers and underpants.
01:45 And he threw them out that little window at the top there.
01:49 I think it's called "Bloats and a Lion."
02:00 So then he opened his plastic bag and all there was in it was a lady's pink sweater.
02:11 Well, he was getting pretty near to his station.
02:18 So he had to do something.
02:21 So he turned this lady's sweater upside down and he pulled his legs and pulled the body
02:31 up over him like this.
02:34 And then suddenly he realized where the neck was.
02:39 So he was not dispirited.
02:46 He took his tubey hat off and he tucked it inside the brim, all inside, like a giant
02:55 hernia.
03:02 That in essence is the end of the story.
03:06 Except that when he got out at Kingsway, he noticed that English people will not say what
03:15 is A and C. Everyone there knew him and ignored him in this terrible state.
03:23 All except the ticket collector who said, "Hello, Mr. Hobbs, you been on holidays?"
03:28 [laughter]
03:31 [APPLAUSE]
03:34 [APPLAUSE]
