is radio, and since it is a comedy, every once in a while, the

fainted!" or "Dear listeners: Now you know why this show can never go 
on television." or "Watch me turn the tables, listeners!"). 

So.

not F-O-W-L as he *thought* I'd spelled it. 

Moriarity: Little does he know that I overheard his correction of my 
gramatical error, and shall now proceed to rectify it, aloud. *Ahem.*
