Presiding General: Who compiled this map?
Fawcett: Cole Porter, sir.
Presiding General: (incredulously) Cole Porter ... who wrote `Kiss Me Kate'?
Fawcett: No, alas not, sir ... this was Cole Porter who wrote `Anything Goes'.
Presiding General: That's the same one! (he sings) `In olden days a glimpse of stocking ...'
Fawcett: No, this one's different, sir.
Presiding General: How does it go?
Fawcett: What, sir?
Presiding General: How does your `Anything Goes' go?
Fawcett: (clearing his throat and going into an extraordinary tuneless and very loud song)
Anything goes in.
Anything goes out!
Fish, bananas, old pyjamas,
Mutton! Beef! and Trout!
Anything goes in ...
Presiding General: No, that's not it ... carry on.
(To those who are utterly baffled by this post... it's part of the Monty Python Courtmartial sketch. I can't hear the phrase 'anything goes' without thinking of this sketch.)
