• Obliquely related story.

    My wife was briefly an actor, and they were running The Cask. During one rehearsal, the guy playing Montresor was doing the brick laying, and he started going:

    “One brick… ah, ah, aah!
    Two bricks… ah, ah, aaah!”

    I don’t know if you had to be there, but I almost died laughing. Now I can’t read or see a reference to The Cask without thinking about that.

    Threeee bricks… ah, ah, aaaah!
