The women, aged 41 and 66, are said to have protested that the lifeless pensioner was merely asleep

I wasn't aware that you people had had that one. Have you ever seen Tony Hancock's 'The Blood Donor?'

Humour is a personal thing of course but some things are universal and this, IMO, is the funniest sketch ever.
As part of my recuperation after my cancer I have to have regular blood tests, and it seems that every patient and every phlebotmist, of any age, knows this sketch over here. I'll see if I can find it for you.
Just checked Min. Google, hancock the blood donor, it's on you tube in two parts.
And I'll guess that you have met a number of 'Anthony Aloysios St John Hancock the Third' types as well.

Airport official: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the wheelchair!
Passenger: I never!!
