meta-p

[Dave Monroe]

Fourth Miner (Ian Davidson):  Hey, gaffer, can you
settle something? Morgan here says you find the abacus
between the triglyphs in the frieze section of the
entablature of classical Greek Doric temples.  

Foreman: You bloody fool, Morgan, that's the metope.
The abacus is between the architrave and the aechinus
in the capital.
  
Morgan" You stinking liar.  

Another fight breaks out. A management man arrives
carried in sedan chair by two black flunkies. He wears
a colonial governor's helmet and a large sign reading
'frightfully important'. All the miners prostrate
themselves on the floor.  

Foreman: Oh, most magnificent and merciful majesty,
master of the universe, protector of the meek, whose
nose we are not worthy to pick and whose very feces
are an untrammelled delight, and whose peacocks keep
us awake all hours of the night with their noisy
lovemaking, we beseech thee, tell thy humble servants
the name of the section between the triglyphs in the
frieze section of a classical Doric entablature.  

Management Man: No idea. Sorry.  

Foreman: Right. Everybody out.  

They all walk off throwing down tools. Cut to a
newsreader's desk.  

Newsreader  Still no settlement in the coal mine
dispute at Llanddarog. Miners refused to return to
work until the management define a metope. Meanwhile,
at Dagenham the unofficial strike committee at Fords
have increased their demands to thirteen reasons why
Henry III was a bad king. And finally, in the
disgusting objects international at Wembley tonight,
England beat Spain by a plate of braised pus to a
putrid heron. And now, the Toad Elevating Moment.
