The Secret Policeman's Other Ball1982

The Crazy Interviewer:
Good evening. Tonight, we're taking a look at Beekeeping, and here to tell us all about it, we have in the studio a man who's been keeping bees for over forty years. Mr. Reginald Prawnbaum. Good evening, Mr. Prawnbaum.

Reginald Prawnbaum:
Good evening.

The Crazy Interviewer:
Tell me. What first interested you in the bee world, Mr. Prawnbaum?

Reginald Prawnbaum:
Well, um, even as a child, I used to...

The Crazy Interviewer:
Ssshh.

Reginald Prawnbaum:
I'm sorry, shouldn't I have said that?

The Crazy Interviewer:
No, of course you should have. Pay no attention, please. When I say "Ssshh", it's just a nervous mannerism I've picked up. If, uh, if I want you to be quiet, I will say "Sush". You were saying?

Reginald Prawnbaum:
Oh, well, even as a child, I used to wander around...

The Crazy Interviewer:
Ssshh.

Reginald Prawnbaum:
[Briefly pauses] Oh, sorry. In the fields near my home, watching the bees fly from flower to flower...

The Crazy Interviewer:
Ssshh.

Reginald Prawnbaum:
...and taking note of the flowers that they visited.

The Crazy Interviewer:
Sush.

Reginald Prawnbaum:
Was that wrong?

The Crazy Interviewer:
I'm so sorry, did I say "Sush"? I meant "Ssshh". Do go on, it's most interesting.

Reginald Prawnbaum:
And so, I have grown to love the little...

The Crazy Interviewer:
Ssshh.

Reginald Prawnbaum:
...creatures. I mean, nature really has produced a little masterpiece in the life...

The Crazy Interviewer:
QUACK! Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid that's a reflex action too. I squawk whenever someone mentions the word "life"... QUACK! You see, even when I mention it myself. I should have told you. Please go on.

Reginald Prawnbaum:
Oh, uh, very well. Well, the bees are divided into different categories.

The Crazy Interviewer:
Sssssshhhhh.

Reginald Prawnbaum:
Uh, the Queen Bee, whose lifespan...

The Crazy Interviewer:
QUACK!

Reginald Prawnbaum:
...whose living expectancy is only one year.

The Crazy Interviewer:
Ssshh.
