Notlob

In the classic words of Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch:

Praline walks into the shop again.

PRALINE I understand that this is Bolton.

SHOPKEEPER Yes.

PRALINE Well, you told me it was Ipswich.

SHOPKEEPER It was a pun.

PRALINE A pun?

SHOPKEEPER No, no, not a pun, no. What's the other thing which reads the same backwards as forwards?

PRALINE A palindrome?

SHOPKEEPER Yes, yes.

PRALINE It's not a palindrome. The palindrome of Bolton would be Notlob. It don't work.

SHOPKEEPER Look, what do you want?

PRALINE No I'm sorry, I'm not prepared to pursue my line of enquiry any further as I think this is getting too silly.

COLONEL (coming in) Quite agree. Quite agree. Silly...silly. Right, get on with it. Get on with it.
