Is there any other sort of humour? :-)  It was compulsory viewing in our 
place.

Sigh...  The absolutely clue-less bank manager who thought he ran the 
place, and the NCO who really did...  That firing-squad scene was 
hilarious:

Officer: "And you can delude yourselves into believing that you fired the 
blank."

Sergeant: "Although the chances are five to one against."

Officer: "Although the chances...  What?"

Blimey...  I've fired a .303 Lee Enfield many times, and trust me, there 
is a hell of a difference in the "kick" between a blank round and a live 
one.  Hint: one leaves a bruise, and the other doesn't...
