"a haaandbaaag?" You really need the correct intonation for this one, and you need to physically prepare yourself. Raise your eyebrows as high as they will go, purse your lips and sit upright, back straight. Flare your nostrils and take a deep breath. Starting mid-tone, make the "a" quite quick, then give the "h" a good outward breath, lingering on the "a" which should be significantly lower than the first lone "a". As soon as you start the "b", go up sharply, in a "glissando" for all you muso's out there, until you reach the "g" - ending in a questioning Australian-style lift. Keep your eyes wide open in utter disbelief. Try it, it might work.
Uttered by the quite wonderful Edith Evans in, of course, The Importance of Being Ernest. Bliss.
