Welcome to my thoughts! Watch your step!
(Minnie Bannister (Spike Milligan) and Henry Crun (Peter Sellers) are courtesy of The Goon Show, and I posted this back in '22. I regret nothing.)

(Minnie) Henry! Henry, they've done it!
(Henry) Ohh, ahh, what's that, Minnie? You know they can't get the wood . . .
(Minnie) They've named a day after you, Henry.
(Henry) Oh, isn't that nice, Minnie, but why would they name the day 'Henry?'
(Minnie) It's Crunday, you old fool . . .
(Henry) No it's not, Modern-type Min, it's Monday. Have you been playing your saxophone again? You know it's naughty . . .
(Minnie) That, that nice Bill Clinton liked it, Henry.
(Henry) Never mind about him, Minnie, you mustn't play the sinful leather saxophone on Monday, you'll irritate the neighbors.
(Minnie) The neighbors need to get up, Henry, or they'll all be murdered in their bed!
(Henry) Bed? The neighbors are all in one bed?
(Minnie) It certainly saves space, Henry.
(Henry) There's no need to save space, Minnie, there's so much of it about, you know. I had a lion tell me that.
(Minnie) A lion, Henry?
(Henry) Yes, Min. He told me that he doesn't have to say 'Get out of my way,' but everyone does, just in case.
(Minnie) Is that why you're talking from inside a lion, Henry?
(Henry) Yes, Min. There's plenty of room in here.
(Minnie) I wondered where you got that fur coat, Henry.
