Remember, laughter is the best medicine. Unless you're asthmatic, then it's Ventolin.

I imagine there are ways to prevent that situation.

That is unfortunate and I'm sad it's going to distract from a strong performance by Mr. Raven. (However, had he read Scott Alexander's book on the Bill in Lemon, he could have avoided being busted.)

I am a little surprised at the hubbub amongst the laity: when I have asked various laypersons how they think bill in lemon is accomplished, they pretty much all suspect: "There's a hole in the lemon". I think that's why good BIL routines must include smoke to cancel that notion.

(PS: I would also note: Steve Spill deserves to be credited with an assist here since some of Spill's key concepts were included in Mr. Raven's routine.)
