Line 7:

'''Eating [[Chichester Cathedral]]'''.<ref>Graham Chapman, ''The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words'' (Pantheon Books, 1989), [http://books.google.com/books?id=wJtkAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Ron+Obvious%22+%22Monty+Python%22&dq=%22Ron+Obvious%22+%22Monty+Python%22&ei=Q9_HSZ-_KorClQSl2e2pAw&pgis=1 128].</ref> Obvious is shown brushing his teeth, putting on a bib and flexing his jaws before biting into the corner of an old stone building and screaming loudly.

'''Tunnelling to [[Java]]'''.<ref>Gary L. Hardcastle and George A. Reisch, ''Monty Python and philosophy: nudge nudge, think think!'' (Open Court Publishing, 2006), [http://books.google.com/books?id=wPQelKFNA5MC&pg=RA1-PA144&dq=%22Ron+Obvious%22+%22Monty+Python%22&ei=Q9_HSZ-_KorClQSl2e2pAw 144].</ref> Vercotti shows a map illustrating the route Obvious will use while digging his way to Java. When trying to show the route, Vercotti points to several places on the map, none of them near Java; as a result, one could infer that Vercotti is blind, which could explain the sunglasses he is always seen wearing. When the announcer asks him where Obvious is, after a couple of evasive answers Vercotti yells, "Ron, how far have you got?" Obvious sticks his head out of a very shallow hole and replies, "Oh, about two foot six." and inquires if there is a [[shovel|spade]] he can use.

'''Splitting a [[Coach (rail)|railway carriage]] with his [[nose]]'''. Vercotti and the announcer walk along a railroad track discussing Obvious' next endeavour, and allegations that Vercotti is exploiting him. The sound of an approaching train is heard, followed by a loud scream.

Line 14:

'''Most time being [[Buried|Underground]] (Deceased)'''. The next scene shows Ron Obvious' [[headstone|tombstone]] with the legend "Very Talented". Vercotti says that he hopes to break the world record for remaining underground.
