I don't "we've already discussed this." If someone told me that
transposition is unnecessary because only altos (including women),
baritones and basses would need it, I would have remembered it. It
makes a strong impression.
Is this where Graham Chapman comes on in his colonel's uniform and
stops the discussion because it's too silly?
