Aaargh. No.
 This reminds of the scene in Night At the Opera where Chico, pretending
to be a famous aviator, is explaining how they fly to America. It's long
and funny, (so we runna outta fuel just a beforra we land, so we turn
back to get some more....., finally, we takea da boat. And that's how we
fly to America.)

As I sketched in a previous message XyWrite easily permits the use of
guillemets.
