'The Pit in the Pendulum' - can anyone explain the joke of this scene?
Patrick has lost the dog, and he sees Victor's gardener sawing or using some kind of tool, and looks at him in a quizzical (I guess) way, and then it cuts to either Margret or Pippa cutting a sausage in the kitchen - which the audience find funny.
Was it meant to be that Patrick was thinking the dog (Denzel, I think) could be where the sawing was going on and died, and the next scene of "dead meat" being cut was a reference to that, or was it meant to be (and this will sound weird) a sexual thing - with references of "tools" and "sausages" or is there another joke I've missed?
