a neat funny intro to a terribly old punchline

i thought of making it 'longer' but 'pulled out 'before the end . could 'flesh i't out a bit ,but don't be too 'hard on' me ! ....... damn , sorry , thought I was writing carry on there for a minute :) stii probably the finniest films ever . apart from philidelphia , that was hilarious .

on a serious note , thx for the advice sooty , was only a quicky that came to me while watching something - I could prob do a few more characters and one liners ,n justthought the ending was keeping in the style of the rest of it . :)

if you subverted it, it would work make something of the obviousness

I dunno maybe sergeant balls had a sex change or summat

what about private Testies? 'oh he's just coming, Sir.'
