Cheese Shop
6 Dec 2001
This parody comes from Kel Barrass, a newcomer to the Fantasy Archers
topic on The .
With apologies to Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch.
The scene is an organic escort agency in Borsetshire. Brian Aldridge walks in.
Brian: Good Morning. Joe: Waddyew want? Brian: Less of that tone, my good man. Joe: Wassup? Waddyew want? Brian: Well, I was sitting in the cab of my phenomenally expensive state-of-the-art combine harvester just now, skimming through this year's genetically modified and pesticide encrusted crop, and I suddenly came over all priapic. Joe: Yew what, yer poncey upper class twit? Brian: Trouser-happy.
Joe: Eh? Brian: 'Ee, oi were 'orny-loik ! Joe: Oh roit. Woi didn't ya say so in the first ruddy place.
Brian: Precisely. And I thought to myself, "a little organic saucepot
will do the trick," so, I curtailed my wallet enhancing activities, sallied
forth, and infiltrated your ridiculously right-on place of business to negotiate
the vending of some cheesy wenches and laugh at your moral stance on agriculture
at the same time. Joe: Talk proper! Brian: I want to hire a lady, you peasant. And why on earth has Helen employed you anyway? Joe: She 'ad a scrap of decency in her, for an old man with farmer's lung and no dosh (cough), not that it's any business of yours Brian Aldridge. Anyroad, I thought you'd come in to complain about the grunge-thrash band. Brian: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse. Joe: You wot? Brian: 'Ooo, oi loiks a nice tuune, yer forced to. Joe: So they can go on playing, can they ? ED - TURN THAT RACKET DOWN !!! Brian: Most certainly! Now then, some ladies please, my good man and make them snappy. Joe: Oright, keep yer trousers on. Wot sort d'yer want then? Brian: Well, eh, how about a little organic cheese maker? Joe: I'm afraid we're fresh out of organic cheesemakers. Brian: Oh, never mind, how are you on busty, country music-fixated barmaids? Joe: I'm afraid we never have them at the end of the week, sir, we find them fresher on Mondays before they've emptied the drip trays. Brian: Tish tish. No matter. Well, stout yeoman, one stable girl then, if you please. Joe: Ah! They've been on order, sir, for two weeks. Was expecting them this morning. Brian: It's not my lucky day, is it? Aah, Nosey cat-owning grandmothers? Joe: Sorry, sir. Brian: Sensibly-shoed cub radio journalists ? Joe: Normally, sir, yes. Today the van broke down. Brian: Ah. Estranged daughters from former marriages? Joe: Sorry. Brian: Newlywed Brummies with no recent storylines? Matronly dog owners? Joe: No. Brian: Any plummy-voiced neighbourhood busybodies with intermittent asthma, perchance? Joe: No. Brian: Culinarily inept solicitors? Joe: No. Brian: Overworked pregnant cowherds? Joe: No. Brian: Single mothers with an irrational hatred of country music ?
Joe: No. Brian: Women in holy orders? Joe: No. Brian: Crutch-embellished teenagers? Joe: No. Brian: Bleating stately home proprietors? Joe: No. Brian: Irish Eurocrats, perhaps? Joe: Ah! We have an Irish Eurocrat, yessir. Brian: (suprised) You do? Excellent. Joe: Yessir. She's..ah,.....she's really up for it. Brian: Oh, I like 'em keen. Joe: Well,.. She's very eager, actually, sir. Brian: No matter. Fetch hither the Maiden of Brussels ! Mmmwah! Joe: I...think she's a bit more overenthusiastic, than you'll like, sir. Brian: I don't care how flaming avid she is. Hand her over with all speed. Joe: Ooohhh........! Brian: What now? Joe: The GP's had her Sir. Brian: Has he? Joe: In his dreams.
(pause)
Brian: Northern in-laws? Joe: No. Brian: Absentee yachting Australians? Joe: No. Brian: Swotty publicans' offspring? Joe: No. Brian: Harassed other halves of failed agriculturalists? Joe: No. Brian: Sausage-averse yoghurt producers? Joe: No sir. Brian: You do HAVE some ladies, don't you? Joe: (brightly) Of course, sir. It's an escort agency, sir. We've got-- Brian: No no... don't tell me. I'm keen to guess. Joe: Suit yerself. Brian: Uuuuuh, Asian aunties. Joe: Yes ? Brian: Ah, well, I'll have one of those. Joe: Oh! I thought you were talking to me, sir. Mister Asian Aunties, that's my name.
Brian: Veterinarian widows? Joe: Er, not as such. Brian: Uuh, gossipping village shop attendants? Joe: No Brian: International assassins? Joe: No Brian: Unicycling astronauts? Joe: Not TODAY, sir, no.
(pause)
Brian: Aah, how about Page Three topless models? Joe: Well, we don't get much call for them around here, sir. Brian: Not much ca-- it's the single most popular lady escort in the world! Joe: Not 'round here, sir. Brian: And what IS the most popular lady round here pray? Joe: Cake-baking wives of recently retired farmers Sir. Brian: ARE they. Joe: Oh, yes, they're staggeringly popular in this manor, squire. Brian: Are they. Joe: They're our number one best seller, sir. Brian: I see. Er... Cake-baking wife of recently retired farmer, eh? Joe: Right, sir. Brian: All right. OK. 'Have you got any?' he asked, expecting the answer 'no'. Joe: I'll have a look, sir ........nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno. Brian: It's not much of an escort agency, is it? Joe: Finest in the district! Brian: (annoyed) Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, please. Joe: Well, it's so clean, sir. Brian: It's certainly uncontaminated by ladies.... Joe: (brightly) You haven't asked me about mutton-dressed-as-lizard tax-exiles, sir. Brian: Would it be worth it? Joe: Could be.... Brian: Have you --SHUT THAT RUDDY PUNK MUSIC! Joe: Told you sir. Brian: (slowly) Have you got any tepee-dwelling baby machines? Joe: No. Brian: Figures. Predictable, really I suppose. It was an act of purest optimism to have posed the question in the first place. Tell me - Joe: Yessir? Brian: (deliberately) Have you in fact got any ladies here at all. Joe: Yes, sir. Brian: Really?
(pause)
Joe: No. Not really, sir. Brian: You haven't. Joe: No sir. Not one. I was deliberately wasting your time, sir. Brian: Well I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to shoot you. Joe: Ruddy typical of you landowning classes. Stuff yer.
(Brian takes out a gun and shoots Joe)
Brian: What a senseless waste of nearly-human life.
