    Colin: "Dead."
    Kenny: "What?"
    Colin: "He had a heart attack last Wednesday two hours after he phoned me to come round. It was his funeral this afternoon, and they were having a sort of a gathering at his house. Do you know what I really wish?"
    Tiddler: "What?"
    Colin: "I wish that I hadn't pushed past the guy who opened the door, rushed into the house and shouted, 'Hi Warner, I'm a bunny-gram!'.Do you have any idea what it's like to have every single rich and powerful person in town dressed in black and staring at you, while you're wearing a giant pink rabbit costume to a funeral?"
    (Pause)
    Colin: "Excuse me. I'm just going to the toilet to whimper for a while."
    Kenny: "Colin, we've already got someone whimpering in there. Maybe you'd like to go under one of the desks."
