And then there's going up to a microphone and moving your lips silently till 
you get to the words "..this f*****g thing on?" A million laughs. (One of the 
BeeGees was in the touring company of Pirates of Penzance that played the Royal 
Alex in Toronto in the early 80s or whenever that was around, and his mike kept 
cutting out during his "Pirate King" aria but worked fine when he stormed 
backstage and said "F*****g mike wouldn't work.")
