The Wooden Horse
(a prisoner of war escape film about volts)

Fun fact
Peter Butterworth later of the Carry On films failed his audition for this film because he "didn't look convincingly heroic or athletic enough" despite being one of the real-life escape plotters.

you conduct yourself well in these games Sir Nulli ! :teehee:

the people of Upper Volta are thrilled with your work :yep:

Messieurs,
veuillez ne pas servir les dames de la réception
avec des boissons fortes lorsqu'elles sont de service.
Ce sont des professionnels hautement qualifiés
et incapables d'effectuer leurs tâches critiques après avoir bu de l'éthanol.
La semaine dernière encore, le grand Thembekile
a bu une gourde pleine de dolo et n'a pas pu faire fonctionner le standard.
Nous avons dû suspendre l'adhésion de M. Ndwandwe par précaution.
Vous êtes invités à acheter aux dames un café à la machine dans le hall à la place.

you are ever ready with a pun Sir Meddad ! :yay:

the people of Upper Volta are clutching their sides :yep:

Messieurs,
veuillez ne pas jouer à des jeux insensés
avec les dames de la réception lorsqu'elles s'endorment après le déjeuner.
Essayer de mettre des baies miracles
dans leur bouche est à la fois irrespectueux et potentiellement dangereux.
Une baie pourrait facilement se loger
dans la trachée et causer la mort ou pire.
Parier sur le résultat d'un film contrevient à la fois
à la législation nationale et locale sur les jeux de hasard.
Obtenez une vie que vous aboyez munchers.
