greg your turn
i once caused an injury to one man whilst trying to get a different man to say the word vegetables
these tea right just the word vegetables yeah do you really like the word vegetables
um not as a general rule no but i liked it when this man said it why what was it about
this man the way he said vegetables that was funny did he have a speech impediment
no no he didn't know he was a very intense man though and he was also austrian
i was with a friend once and he was a colleague of ours sorry and i overheard him say vegetables
and we both found it incredibly funny um so can you just roughly give us an impression
of how he used to say vegeta was even just he said it looked exactly like this vegetables
and then we happened to be on a coach trip with him and so we spent the whole coach trip
trying to get him to save vegetables where were you where were you going
i was on a school trip i used to be a teacher so he was a he was a teacher yeah he was a teacher
he was the head of languages and he was out of languages
the head of language you just got
vegetables imagine imagine i'm the man okay i'm on the coach i'm i'm sat we're driving
um so i said so um yeah
you're very big aren't you this isn't like him at all you're very big
so i was saying things like oh i've been trying to um keep fit lately
and i know that you're in to keep fit you know would you recommend for a healthy diet
and he was going well you know i would uh you must eat a balanced diet you must eat greens
and uh you you must enjoy some protein in lemonade i was going yeah yeah but i mean
if you were to group some of those foods together and he was going well i mean yeah you must have
carbohydrates of course you must have and it was it was horrific it went on for about an hour
and every time i tried to find a new angle for vegetables his ludicrous austrian interpretation
of things led us down a dark alley it was literally an hour in the making how did you
finally get him to say it um i i honestly can't remember it came out of nowhere and he suddenly
said it and he said it was such passion it was he went oh i would have cautioned myself
i i started biting my hand to stop myself from laughing
and my my friend who was next to me there was a there's a jagged piece of metal
at the front of the coach and because it was so funny just to remind you of the university
and my friend saw the piece of metal and pushed his knee into it on purpose to stop himself from
laughing and blood started like spraying out his sound it started spraying out of his knee yeah
and i'll tell you another detail we went and did the trip which was in paris
and then after we came all the way back all the way back to um calais
and i said to him um you know we put all the kids passports in that hotel in paris last night did
you um did you remember because he was in charge of the chip did you remember to bring those
and he he was standing up in front of the children on the coach and he went oh schaezer
and we had to speak to the poor authorities and get permission to take the kids on without
passports where he went back on his own can i tell you one more detail as well we were also
standing in the middle of paris under the eiffel tower we've been there for an hour and the kids
were all running around and he came over and we must go we are late for our next appointment
and i said we should just make sure that all the kids are here and he goes yes of
course we should yes and he turned around and went is everybody here
