"I read it to my husband......he just died laughing!"

- You're undoubtedly too young to remember, but the "Neddie" line is actually lifted from an old 1950's BBC radio show series called "The Goon Show" which was the inspiration to a subsequent television series, "Monty Python's Flying Circus". The Goon Show was the most inspired bit of insane lunacy ever to hit the airwaves and it's influence continues to this day.
Some better record stores still carry tapes of it's programs in their comedy section/
