Excellent! Always good to see the snake wriggling into a new crawlspace.

I'm reminded of a few of Flying Circus sketches, maybe they'll help:

1. Episode..40-something, IIRC: There is a LONG phone conversation where
John Cleese keeps saying, "yes, yes...yes, yes...yes". Then checks his
shoe size. Others repeat the motif.

2. There's the joke where Cleese is a psychiatrist, can't get his
secretary to declare that he's not just any kind of doctor, so he makes
a ringing sound, picks up the phone and says, "no, sorry, this is a
_psychiatrist's_ office"

3. Piranha Brothers: Palin as Luigi while interviewed at his 'escort
service', answers the phone, saying, "Stumm! Stumm. Yes, the _watch_
will be ready at midnight. The *watch*. The Chinese 'watch'. OK. So
long... mother."

They're all small, but perhaps useful.
