David Milliband.There's a really good bit of text that I can't find right now. It's Hugh Laurie talking about analysiing jokes. It's like, he says, taking a hammer to an exquisite crystal vase, picking up all the pieces and laying them on a table, and showing people, saying 'If you arranged these pieces into a vase-like shape, they'd make a really good crystal vase'.
I have broken the vase. For that, I am sorry.
