"You must have come from the shallow end of the gene pool"

I remember somebody - not sure who, it might have been Martin Pearson, who on hearing somebody's mobile phone ringing, invited them to give him the phone, and he chatted to the person on the other end about what was happening. If it wasn't Martin, then it certainly was the sort of thing he might do.

Anyone who has been lucky enough to hear him in action, particularly in his shows with John Thompson, knows that playing with hecklers is very much a part of the entertainment. He's very quick wit, and always has a good line for any occasion. Unfortunately I can't remember any of them right now.
