Quote Me Happy

Alan Bennett: [dictating a telegram into the telephone] I want to end it if I may, "NORWICH".

[pause]

Alan Bennett: "NORWICH", yes. Well, it's an idiomatic way of saying, "Knickers Off Ready When I Come Home". You see, it's the initial letters of each word.

[pause]

Alan Bennett: Yes, I know "knickers" is spelt with a "K". I was at Oxford, it was one of the first things they taught us.
