Local community theater puts on an end of summer show in the park every year to raise money for some disease that kills kids and makes them bald too. Forget the name. Anyway, this guy, pretty hefty, but not outrageous, was playing Sherlock Holmes. He was doing a pretty good job all things considered, nailed the accent. Had the whole outfit and pipe etc.
A heckler shouts out "I got a real mystery to solve, why don't you eat a salad?". Sadly quite a few attendees chuckled, which encouraged him more. A few minutes later he yelled "more like Scotland Lard". Hate to admit even I laughed a bit at that one. The actor got so upset he didn't finish the show.

seems relevant to adequately convey the seriousness of the disease (and thus the comic discordance of the heckler). i mean, we all die, eventually, but there are fates worse than death.
