The silly woman made a bet when she had had a few.
She bet she could say “stand up and fight” 50 times in 5 minutes and NO ONE in the hall would laugh
She won her silly bet https://t.co/v2TKfMxgea

Janey Godley‘s hilarious voiceover added an intentional layer of comedy to the unintentional one already in evidence.
