Page "Victor Borge" Paragraph 9

Among Borge's other famous routines is the " Phonetic Punctuation " routine, in which he recites a story, with full punctuation ( comma, period, exclamation mark, etc.

) as exaggerated onomatopoeic sounds.

Another is his " Inflationary Language ", where he incremented numbers embedded in words, whether they are visible or not (" once upon a time " becomes " twice upon a time ", " wonderful " becomes " twoderful ", " forehead " becomes " fivehead ", " tennis " becomes " elevennis ", " I ate a tenderloin with my fork and so on and so forth " becomes "' I nine an elevenderloin with my five ' k ' and so on and so fifth ").
