Hi folks,
I've got an urgent plea for information on an old comedy routine from
Quebec, probably dated from back in the 50s.
I don't have the name of the bit, but it centers around a the cockpit
of a small puddle-jumper airplane by the mythical name of TQH Flight
52. I remember most of the skit, and I'll include some quotes below.
The routine was pressed onto a 78 RPM vinyl record which I borrowed
from a high school firend back in the 70s. Some cretin _painted_ over
the label on both sides, and completely over the tracks on the "other"
side of the disk so I never got the info. The whole piece is about 15
minutes long.
Even if you know the bit, but do not have it, I would appreciate any
information on who did it, the actual name of it, the
artists--anything.
Capitain Harbidal Spuldater
Co-pilot: Onézim (used to fly the kiddie-airplane ride at Parc
Belmont)
Stewardess Mimi, who passes out Pepsi and Mae West after departure.
"OK, Onézim, before we go to da took-off pointe, flap da t'ings, make
sure the red light is green and the blue light is on or off as it look
best to you."
"...In the event that the mask pops at you, I ask you to face the rear
of the aeroplane and blow out all your air very very 'ard"
"Welcome aboard TQH Flight 52, with service to (list of forgotten
place names), and many other places in La Belle Province of which I am
not sure, because I do not know which way the wind is blowing."
The end of the skit is "TQH announces the arrival of Flight 52 which
has just landed on runways 3,4,5,6 & 7. Passengers and crew may be met
at the following hospitals."
Stay Demented!
Cheers!
I'm actually too young to remember this in its entirety but my father and his siblings would bring it up on occasion and I have been hunting for a copy since I was a tween just to get the joke... My favourite quote that my brother would say was "An' in case of engine fire, there is no problem, the wings are held on by a special glue and when a fire 'appens my 'copilote'(french accent) just 'as to push a button 'an the wings they fall off!" or something along those lines. If you ever do find a copy of the whole skit please reply to the thread and let me know. I'm dying to know what I missed out on!I've got an urgent plea for information on an old comedy routine from
