It reminds me of one of my favourite exchanges in television history when the lads are voting for what colour to paint inside the hut in Auf Wiedersehen Pet......
Barry Taylor:
The votes as cast are as follows: The winner is... Yellow.
Dennis Patterson:
Yellow!
Barry Taylor:
By one point.
Dennis Patterson:
Who voted yellow?
Wayne Norris:
I don't like yellow.
Bomber Busbridge:
My neither, it's not a man's colour.
Albert Moxey:
It's a fiddle.
Bomber Busbridge:
I demands a recount.
Barry Taylor:
Figures don't lie y'now.
Wayne Norris:
So who's first choice was it then eh?
Barry Taylor:
Nobody's.
Bomber Busbridge:
Well then how could it win?
Barry Taylor:
Because no two people had the same first choice.
Dennis Patterson:
So everybody's first choice only got two points.
Barry Taylor:
That's right, and yellow got three second places.
Dennis Patterson:
Well that's a smashing system that is, isn't it Barry eh? Everybody gets what nobody wants.
Barry Taylor:
That's democracy Dennis.
