As all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy - here is some light comic relief in the form of a clip from the British TV series Fawlty Towers (BBC). In this clip, Manuel is practicing his English- The Major (who drinks!!!) enters but doesn't see
Manuel and therefore believes that it is the Moose's head that is speaking to him.

Manuel: You see I speak English well. I learn(ed) it from a book.
Hello, I am English. Hello.
How are you, sir. I can speak English.
Ah – hello Major – how are you today?
The Major: Oh, WWWW I,I,I,I,I,I, am fine thank you!
Manuel: It's a beautiful day today.
The Major: Is it?! Oh well yes, yes I suppose it is.
Manuel: Yes I can speak English, I learned it from a book.
The Major: Did you! Did you really – Oh there you are Fawlty.
Basil Fawlty: Yes I'm just going to open up.
The Major: Oh fine,That's a remarkable animal you have there Fawlty, where did you get it?
Basil Fawlty: Samson's in the town.
The Major: Really! Was it expensive?
Basil Fawlty: Twelve pounds, I think.
The Major: Good Lords, Japanese, was it?
Basil Fawlty: Canadian, I think Major.
The Major: I didn't know the Canadians were as clever as all that, my God!
Basil Fawlty: He's started early!
