  • Hugh Laurie is 'keen to exploit the social and financial advantages inherent in having a hair cut' however he has to rely on Stephen Fry and his 'professional care for the purposes of securing an encutment'.

    For those who haven't seen the entire episode, the end credits roll over a shot of Hugh Laurie having fallen asleep in the chair, ending with Stephen Fry coming in with a chainsaw.

      But it would undoubtedly handicap the good sirs and madams' ability to communicate simple orally expressed messages, like this particular message. A conversation unfolding likewise would ultimately result in the estrangement of the kind, commonly known as "humans"
      P.S. I am indeed quite sorry to inform you, that I do in fact find myself struggling with communication, after deciding to speak like a "gentleman" for I am but a mere foreigner, from the foreign and mysterious lands of Eastern Europe.

Many a times myself, I've found myself saying whilst laughing gleefully, "What the hell?" in a manner of garnering elightenment to better enjoy the hilarities, or if it be an anecdote or action of some bizarre action, in general perplexity at said event.
