IQ: Are you an Assyrian monarch other than Sennacherib?
No, I’m not Arnold Schwarzenegger?
No, I am not Sennacherib II-C, inclusive?
Ahnold might have espoused a similar suggestion at some point, but I’ll give you another shot to name the person who expressed it in those exact words.
I was actually thinking of Sargon (and there’s at least one other S-monarch in the annals of Assyria). Sargon II was Sennacherib’s father. (Was there a Sennacherib II? I’m not sure, but I thought Sennie was too close to the end to have had any other Assyrian monarchs take his name.)
Should I get a DQ? I leave it to you…
Well, Charlie Sheen called his costar a troll, but I know of no Sheenian gorilla remark. It was Edwin Stanton, a bigshot lawyer who once refused to work on a big case with some backwoods hick named Abraham Lincoln, and then years later served as his Secretary of War.
DQ: Real?
IQ: Was your lovely daughter named Elanor?
I don’t have anything else. Ask a DQ.
Ah, I should have had Sargon. There do not seem to have been more Sennacheribs. Ask a DQ.

DQ: Are you currently alive?
IQ: Are you a baseball player who got his nickname because he never stuck with any team for too long?
