coming apart at the seams!

'I never been so embarrassed in my life!' mooed Captain Bill.

'Really?' said Cyril. 'That's a rather sheltered life if you don't mind me saying so!'

'That poor woman,' continued Captain Bill,'must have given her the fright of her life! There she is sitting nibbling on a slice on fruit cake, next thing she knows there's a deformed elephant standing next to her saying "are you going to finish that?"....No wonder she screamed!'

'Well she wasn't going to finish it!' replied Cyril.

'You never gave her a chance!' said Captain Bill, 'she went to lift it to her mouth, you lunged forward, the sprinkler on my trunk hit her on the head and down she went! She'll be in therapy for years! And when those people gave chase! I thought we'd never shake them off...and all for a slice of cake!'

'So do you want a bit?' said Cyril.

'Is there icing on it?' asked Captain Bill.

'................not any more,' replied Cyril.

'No, no I won't!,' said Captain Bill, 'it wouldn't seem right. I've had enough of the whole sorry episode! I've had enough of being dressed as Norman. I think the best thing we can do now is go and collect Horace and get out of here.'

So that it what they did!
