IPR Presents: The Man Who Invented The Slumber Party
In these days of celebrity scandals and royals acting like normal people,
it is refreshing to encounter a person who has no notoriety, and yet
was responsible for a notable achievement such as this. We will not say that the
world is a better place for it... just a trifle more interesting.

Shut that door!
Okay.
No, go out and shut that door. I don't want you in here.
But I have to tell you...
Write whatever it is you have to say on a bit of pasteboard or foolscap and hold it up to the window!
You won't be able to read it.
Why?
It'll be in latin.
Why?
'Cause I'm a doctor, silly!
You don't much act like one.
How so?
I've been assigned the same GP for three years and I've never seen him. Why do I have to look you in the face every day?
Um. I have to tell you something.
Well. All right. Out with it.
You've won an award.
For what?
Broadcasting.
An interview show? Wow!

A comedy.

I won, too, as a supporting player.
That's ridiculous, you don't do anything on the air... Oh... They've been broadcasting these contratemps with you?
Just so. Even got some syndication going up north and in Finland.
Finland? In English?
Uh, no, in Swedish. They say it's much funnier that way.
I don't speak Swedish.
No, but I do. I've been getting extra money playing your part.
