In one episode, the Goon Show told their version of the Robin Hood story. After he won the archery competition while competing in disguise, the following dialogue occurs:
“You pull a mean bow, archer.”
“Yes, it was given me by a mean uncle.”
“No, really, where did you learn to pull a longbow?”
“I took a postal correspondence course. The envelopes were six feet long.”
What brought this to mind was reading about a man who once mailed a building.
