Parlor Wit

Wherein Edmund Blackadder discovers that Captain Rum's ship has no crew...

Blackadder: Look, there's no need to panic. Someone in the crew will know how to steer this thing.
Capt. Rum: The crew, milord?
Blackadder: Yes, the crew.
Capt. Rum: What crew?
Blackadder: I was under the impression that it was common maritime practice for a ship to have a crew.
Capt. Rum: Opinion is divided on the subject.
Balckadder: Oh, really? [starting to get the picture]
Capt. Rum: Yahs. All the other captains say it is; I say it isn't.
Blackadder: Oh, God. Mad as a brush.
