        Owner: No, no…No, it’s stunned!

        Mr. Praline: STUNNED?!?

        Owner: Yeah! You stunned it, just as it was wakin’ up! American Reds stun easily, major.

        Mr. Praline: Um…now look…now look, mate, I’ve definitely 'ad enough of this. That country is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not ‘alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein’ tired and shagged out following a prolonged conflict.

        Owner: Well, it’s…it’s, ah…probably pining for the oil fields.

        Mr. Praline: PININ’ for the OIL FIELDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did it fall flat on his back the moment I got it home?

        Owner: The American Red prefers kippin’ on it’s back! Remarkable country, id’nit, squire? Lovely landscape…
