This thread reminds me of the Red Dwarf program when the computer tries to explain to 'Rimmer'?? that all the crew is dead... Rimmer will not accept they atre all dead and starts asking about individuals.
...which reminds me of Trigger Happy TV, Dom Joly in a Pound Shop...
"Excuse me, how much is this?"
"A pound, sir"
"How about this?"
"Also a pound"
How much is this?"
"It's a pound, sir. This is a pound shop, everything costs one pound"
"Oh okay, sorry"...brief pause
"How much is this one?" etc etc
And so on,
ad nauseam...
