And now for something completely different..

C = Customer (John Cleese), O = Owner (Michael Palin)

C: I understand this IS Bolton.
O: Yes?
C: You told me it was Ipswitch!
O: ...It was a pun.
C: (Pauses) A PUN?!?
O: No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?
C: (Long pause) A palindrome...?
O: Yeah, that's it!
C: It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!!
O: Well, what do you want?
C: I'm not prepared to pursue my line of inquiry any longer as I think this is getting too silly!
