This is a case of direct plagiarism of a speech given by an English
raconteur and wit, Gerard Hoffnung, to the Oxford University English
Speaking Union in the early 1950s. I have a cassette of the speech
which was about a building worker taking a barrel of bricks from
the bottom of a building to the top. Apart from that and the fact that
his presentation is incredibly funny the story is identical.
