And of course... ![]() Don't understand...!?! It's the scene from Spinal Tap, where they lower the Stonehenge "megalith" onto the stage, which was supposed to be a big moment. Unfortunately, when sketching out the concept on a napkin its dimensions were mislabelled, with the result that the proposed 18 feet high stage prop ends up being made only 18 inches high.

I was quite happily shouting out, for example, "Five 'n' arf", the inches were implicit and there were five and a half of them (five 'n 'arf). To people not trained in the London accent (wonderful as it is), they were hearing "Five Narf", with the units being the aforementioned "narf". That kept us laughing for quite a while. Clearly, one narf is twice the length of one quotta. It's simple math. |
