CBC Radio used to do a summer comedy series, and a perrenial favourite was a recording of Gerard Hoffnung reading "The Bricklayer's Letter" at the Oxford Union. Hysterically funny delivery, just seemed to keep getting funnier every time you heard it. I think the recording was made some time in the late 60s or early 70s (?) so this story has been around for quite a while.

You can order a BBC recording of various Hoffnung bits, including "The Bricklayer's Letter", here , or just set your radio to the CBC and wait for them to play it again.
