Fry did at least joke 'you don't think I actually listen to myself, 
do you?' [grin].

The *best* for never understanding a word he was reading (while 
still doing a superb interpretation) was Peter Jones as the Voice of 
The Book in Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Very, very occasionally you can hear just a hint of the total 
bewilderment he was feeling ...
