Do you like fish?

COLONEL: ... Do you like fish?
STANHOPE: Fish, sir?
COLONEL: Yes. We've had some fresh fish sent up from railhead for supper tonight.
STANHOPE: (rising) Splendid, sir!
COLONEL: Whiting, I think it is.
STANHOPE: Good!
COLONEL: Well, bye-bye.

For some reason this is the funniest thing in the whole damn world...and the mere utterance of these words makes me and the Colonel laugh like a couple of asses on stage. Terrible. It's all in his delivery though...Whiting, I think it is...he emphasis the white in whiting somehow...it's the unfunniest thing and yet, hee-larious! God knows why!
