Reading Ian Dunt's reporting of the Johnson Inquiry which reminds me of the Goon Show's 'The Guided NAAFI":

Eccles: I resign! You speak to my secretary! You can't talk to a government minister like that! I won't be out of work long, you'll see! I'll get that Ministry of Fisheries job! You watch! I've kept goldfish!

Announcer: Mr. Eccles, Mr. Eccles, we are not for one moment doubting your sincerity. It's just your intelligence that's in question.

Eccles: Well, I accept your apology.
