(on phone) I was out the back, working in the garden when he arrived, so I asked him if, for the time being, he’d put it in the downstairs toilet for me, and you know what he’s done?! He’s only planted it in the pan! Yes, actually in the lavatory pan, with compost and everything! I mean, how anyone can be so utterly goofy just boggles the mind! A mistake anyone could have made?! Are you stark- I mean, what am I supposed to do, cock my leg against the trunk like a Yorkshire Terrier?!
Victor Meldrew (Richard Wilson) from the sitcom One Foot in the Grave (1990 – 2000)
I have not heard of, much less seen, the show from this quote derives. But the quote is utterly fabulous!
It’s about the adventures of an old married couple and the crazy things that befall them. Very funny. Here’s the link featuring the longer speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3LkuJIDD0E
Thanks!
