			'''Mr Mavolio Bent''' is the Chief Cashier at the [[Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork]]. He is a fussy little man in impeccable black jacket and pinstripe trousers. He has a peculiar way of walking that involves lifting his feet high and gently setting them down again, like a slow-motion goosestep. He also has no sense of humour – this is apparently due to [[Nichtlachen-Keinwortz Syndrome]], but as if in compensation, is very good with numbers. He has the air about him of one who stands very quietly in a cupboard when not in use.

	~~The bodies are strewn about~~ in ~~all directions, some still strapped~~ to ~~their seats while others have been flung from their positions by the force~~ of the ~~crash~~. ~~Many have been severed from their limbs~~, ~~arms and legs torn away~~ as ~~if they were made of paper dolls~~. ~~The dismembered limbs are scattered throughout the cabin~~, ~~sometimes impaled on jagged pieces of metal or lodged in twisted wreckage~~.		He is a ferociously good mathematician. He can run his eyes down an enormous list of numbers and add them together instantly. As such he has risen to a position of enormous power in the Bank. He sits on a mechanical platform in the centre of the office which he calls his {{wp\|Panopticon\|"panopticon"}} so can treadle around to watch any of the junior clerks under his power as they beaver away. He is held in awe by all who work for him, such as [[Robert Spittle]]. And he inspires ''absolute devotion'' from his Senior Clerk, [[Drapes\|Miss Drapes]].

	~~Skulls are cracked open~~, ~~their contents spilling out like overripe fruit~~. ~~Eyes are wide open~~, ~~frozen~~ in a ~~silent scream~~ of ~~terror~~, ~~their pupils constricted~~ to ~~pinpoints as if staring into~~ the ~~very abyss~~ of ~~death itself~~. ~~Some faces~~ are ~~twisted in grotesque grimaces~~, ~~mouths agape and tongues hanging out like lifeless slabs~~ of ~~meat~~.		Mavolio Bent was born Charlie Benito. His father was a renowned clown, his mother loved clowns – or at least loved ''a'' clown for a night. His mother brought him up to be normal, but he still ended up as a clown. He failed at the job (or rather, was too good at it in that he actually made others ''laugh''), and while on the run he bumped into a group of [[Travelling Accountants\|travelling accountants]]. There he discovered his talent for numbers, started his career as a banker, until the events of {{MM}} led to the discovery of his hidden talents. His catch phrase, or at least the password to his magic locks and what he utters before attempted pie-ing of public authority, is "Here we are again!". This, of course, is an homage to the Victorian-era Payne Brothers.

	Bones are splintered and shattered, sticking out from ripped flesh like jagged shards of glass. Intestines are spilled out onto the floor, glistening in the dim light that filters through the wreckage. Ripped clothing hangs from the bodies like macabre flags, soaked in blood and mingled with mangled flesh.		==Annotation==
			"Mavolio Bent" works on three levels:

	~~The air~~ is ~~thick with~~ the ~~stench of burned flesh~~ and ~~charred fabric~~, ~~mingling with~~ the ~~metallic tang~~ of ~~blood and~~ the ~~acrid smell~~ of ~~smoke. The silence~~ is ~~almost palpable, broken only by the occasional groan from those few who still cling~~ to life.		i) in the Shakespeare play "'''Twelfth Night'''", Malvolio is the humourless, conscientious, Pooterish steward who has a grey and austere, rather pompous, outer manner, the butt of the joke for other characters who possess a more rudimentary sense of humour; but who is shown to have a rich and very human fantasy life on the inside.

	The ~~once neat rows of seats are now~~ a ~~tangled mess of twisted metal~~ and ~~broken bodies~~, a ~~testament to the incredible force~~ of ~~the impact~~. ~~Oxygen masks dangle from~~ the ~~ceiling like macabre decorations~~, ~~their hoses snapped or dangling limply~~ from ~~the severed ends~~. ~~The soft glow~~ of ~~emergency lights flickers like fireflies in the darkness~~, ~~casting eerie shadows across the carnage~~.		ii) A long-running children's animation on British TV is "'''Mr Benn'''."[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Benn]. The star is a dapper well-dressed bank cashier, impeccably dressed in black jacket and pinstripe trousers, who has a '''''most''''' peculiar stiff-legged way of walking. Again he is a grey, mousy, individual on the surface, but the moment he walks into the [[Wandering Shop\|mysterious shop]] that appears from nowhere, and dons a costume, he walks out onto an Adventure...
			For those of you who are British and have forgotten, and those of you from elsewhere who never got to see this show as a kid, here's a sample episode:."[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK6jdj9B_7E] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu9IKu9Z1Yw]

	In ~~this apocalyptic scene~~, ~~the passengers' personal belongings lie scattered about~~, ~~mangled~~ and ~~battered beyond recognition. Suitcases are broken open, spilling out their contents~~ in ~~a pathetic display of~~ the ~~lives that were lost. Teddy bears and stuffed animals are strewn about, their once-cheerful faces now stained with blood and grime~~.		iii) In criminal parlance, a "Bent" clerk is one who has been corrupted, and will tell secret information or assist in stealing from the bank.

	~~Despite~~ the ~~devastation, there are signs~~ of ~~desperate attempts at survival. Some bodies are entangled in futile attempts at escape, limbs reaching out towards shattered windows or broken doors. Oxygen masks are still clutched~~ in ~~some hands, their owners having fought~~ to ~~draw one last breath before succumbing to their fate~~.		Bent's childhood story of running away from the life of a clown with the travelling accountants is a reversal of the [[Roundworld]] cliché of someone stuck in a monotonous job running away to join the circus.

	~~As one walks through this unholy tableau~~, ~~the sound~~ of ~~crunching underfoot is~~ both ~~sickening~~ and ~~surreal~~. It'~~s as if one~~ is ~~treading upon~~ a ~~sea of brittle bones~~, ~~every step~~ a ~~crushing reminder~~ of the ~~lives that~~ were ~~brutally cut short in this aerial graveyard~~.		Of course the {{wp\|John_Major\|greyest, blandest, dullest British Prime Minister of recent years}} was born to a circus family and did leave because he found Conservative politics (both small and large 'c') more to his taste. The idea of his leading a double life as a clown was explored by ''The Comic Strip'', but this is probably a coincidence. Even though prior to entering politics, he trained as a bank manager, and after entering politics and attaining the rank of Chancellor of the Exchequer, he treated the British economy as if it were a delinquent (overdrawn) account on the grand scale. As Prime Minister, his refusal to abandon a flawed economic standard (the ERM, to which the pound, and his own financial reputation, was tied) precipitated a major economic collapse and recession.

	~~The sight of such extreme mutilation and suffering is a grim reminder of the fragility of human life and the capricious nature of fate.

			'''Mr Mavolio Bent''' is the Chief Cashier at the [[Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork]]. He is a fussy little man in impeccable black jacket and pinstripe trousers. He has a peculiar way of walking that involves lifting his feet high and gently setting them down again, like a slow-motion goosestep. He also has no sense of humour – this is apparently due to [[Nichtlachen-Keinwortz Syndrome]], but as if in compensation, is very good with numbers.

	~~Preparing Cannabis: If your cannabis is in bud form~~, ~~you~~'~~ll need~~ to ~~grind it before smoking. This can~~ be ~~done using~~ a ~~grinder~~ or ~~by breaking~~ it ~~up with your fingers~~. ~~Make sure~~ the ~~cannabis~~ is ~~evenly ground for a consistent burn~~.		Mavolio Bent was born Charlie Benito. His father was a renowned clown, his mother loved clowns – or at least loved ''a'' clown for a night.

Lighting and Smoking: Light the joint or blunt using a lighter. Hold the flame to the tip of the joint, allowing it to burn evenly. Take slow, deep breaths, holding the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.

	~~ii) A long-running children's animation on British TV is "'''Mr Benn'''."[http~~:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Benn].

Bong or Pipe: To smoke using a bong or pipe, follow these steps:
	~~For those of you who are British and have forgotten, and those of you from elsewhere who never got to see this show as~~ a ~~kid, here's a sample episode:."[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK6jdj9B_7E] and [http://www.youtube~~.~~com/watch?v=Eu9IKu9Z1Yw]~~		Place a small amount of ground cannabis in the bowl of the bong or pipe.
			Light the cannabis using a lighter.
			Inhale slowly through the mouthpiece to draw the smoke into your lungs.
			Hold the smoke in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.

	~~iii) In criminal parlance~~, ~~a "Bent" clerk is one who has been corrupted~~, and will ~~tell secret information or assist in stealing from~~ the ~~bank~~.		Maintaining Your Accessories: Regularly clean your bongs, pipes, and other accessories to keep them free of resin and bacteria. This will ensure a smooth smoking experience and help prevent the spread of infection.

	~~Bent's childhood story of running away from the life of a clown with the travelling accountants is a reversal of the [[Roundworld]] cliché of someone stuck~~ in a ~~monotonous job running away to join the circus.~~		Storing Cannabis: Store your cannabis in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency and freshness.

	Of course the {{wp\|John_Major\|greyest, blandest, dullest British Prime Minister of recent years}} was born to a circus family and did leave because he found Conservative politics (both small and large 'c') more to his taste.

Mr Mavolio Bent is the Chief Cashier at the [[Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork]]. He is a fussy little man in impeccable black jacket and pinstripe trousers. He has a peculiar way of walking that involves lifting his feet high and gently setting them down again, like a slow-motion goosestep.

He has the air about him of one who stands very quietly in a cupboard when not in use.

He is a ferociously good mathemetician. He can run his eyes down an enormous list of numbers and add them together instantly. As such he has risen to a position of enormous power in the Bank. He sits on a mechanical platform in the centre of the office which he calls his {{wp|Panopticon|"panopticon"}} so can treadle around to watch any of the junior clerks under his power as they beaver away.

Mavolio Bent was born Charlie Benito. His father was a renowned clown, his mother loved clowns – or at least loved ''a'' clown for a night. His mother brought him up to be normal, but he still ended up as a clown.

"Mavolio Bent" works on three levels:

i) in the Shakespeare play "'''Twelth Night'''", Malvolio is the humourless, conscientious, Pooterish steward who has a grey and austere, rather pompous, outer manner, the butt of the joke for other characters who possess a more rudimentary sense of humour; but who is shown to have a rich and very human fantasy life on the inside.

ii) A long-running childrens' animation on British TV is "'''Mr Benn'''."[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Benn]. The star is a dapper well-dressed bank cashier, impeccably dressed in black jacket and pinstripe trousers, who has a '''''most''''' peculiar stiff-legged way of walking. Again he is a grey, mousy, individual on the surface, but the moment he walks into the [[Wandering Shop|mysterious shop]] that appears from nowhere, and dons a costume, he walks out onto an Adventure...
For those of you who are British and have forgotten, and those of you from elsewhere who never got to see this show as a kid, here's a sample episode:."[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK6jdj9B_7E] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu9IKu9Z1Yw]

iii) In criminal parlance, a "Bent" clerk is one who has been corrupted, and will tell secret information or assist in stealing from the bank.

Bent's childhood story of running away from the life of a clown with the travelling accountants is a reversal of the [[Roundworld]] cliché of someone stuck in a monotonous job running away to join the circus.

Of course the {{wp|John_Major|greyest, blandest, dullest British Prime Minister of recent years}} was born to a circus family and did leave because he found Conservative politics (both small and large 'c') more to his taste. The idea of his leading a double life as a clown was explored by ''The Comic Strip'', but this is probably a coincidence. Even though prior to entering politics, he trained as a bank manager, and after entering politics and attaining the rank of Chancellor of the Exchequer, he treated the British economy as if it were a delinquent (overdrawn) account on the grand scale. As Prime Minister, his refusal to abandon a flawed economic standard (the ERM, to which the pound, and his own financial reputation, was tied) precipitated a major economic collapse and recession.
