His mother (Eric Idle) finds what she believes to be a suicide note, reads it and also immediately dies laughing . A brave Scotland Yard inspector (Graham Chapman) attempts to retrieve the joke, with the playing of very sombre music on gramophone records and the chanting of laments by fellow policemen to create a depressing mood . The inspector leaves the flat with the joke but also dies from laughter . </P>
