 scene: Outside of a castle.  Very thick fog is about and the sound of horse
 steps can be heard.             approaching.  Soon king Arthur and his servant
 Patsy walk into sight.  Patsy is banging two    coconuts together which make the
 sound of horse steps.

 Arthur: Whoa there!
 guard: Who goes there?
 Arthur: It is I, King Arthur, son of Luther Pendragon, from the castle of
 Camelot, king of the Britains, defeater of the Saxons, ruler of all England!
 guard: Who's the other one?
 Arthur: This is my trusty servant Patsy.  We have ridden ah length and breadth
 of the land in search of knights who will join me in my courts at Camelot.  I
 must speak with your lord and master.
 guard: What, ridden on a horse?
 Arthur: yes
 guard: Your using coconuts.
 Arthur: What?
 guard: You have two coconuts and your banging them together.
 Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land through
 the kingdom of Mercia..
 guard: (interrupts) Where did you get the coconuts?
 Arthur: We found them.
 guard: FOUND THEM? In Mercia? The coconuts tropical.
 Arthur: What do you mean?
 guard: Well this is a temperate zone.
 Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the plumer may seek warmer
 climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.
 guard: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
 Arthur: No. They could be carried.
 guard: What, a swallow carrying a coconut.
 Arthur: It could grip it by the husk.
 guard: It's not a question of where he grips it.  It's a simple matter of weight
 ratios.  A five ounce bird *could* not carry a one pound coconut.
 Arthur: Well, it does't matter.  Will you go and tell your master that Arthur,
 from the court at Camelot, is here.
 guard: Listen, in order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat
 its wings 43 times a second.  Right?
 Arthur: *Please*
 guard: Am I right?
 Arthur: I'm not interested.
 guard two: It could be carried by an african swallow.
 guard: Ah, an african swallow my be, but no a european swallow, that's my point.
 guard two: Oh yeah, I agree with that.
 Arthur: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?
 guard: But then, african swallows are non-migratitory.
 guard two: Oh, yeah, so they couldn't bring back a coconut anyway........Wait a
 minute, supposing two swallows carried it together?

 ( at this King Arthur and Patsy turn around and leave.  Patsy resumes banging
 the coconuts together.)

 guard: Naw, they'd have to have a line.
 guard two: Well, simple, they just use a strand of crepe.
 guard: What? Tied under the dorsal guiding feathers?
 guard two: Well, why not?
