You know. You really can’t go wrong with an obscure humor line. Quotes from the Simpsons are great. For the really obscure Go with Mr. Show or the Ben Stiller show. SouthPark is good too, although the quotes tend to be more simplistic and a little too well known. ie. I’m a saaaaaad Panda I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my Homsexuals Flaming. I’m made with Spider Sugar…Doesn’t hurt the spiders Tofutti break everyone Get off mah land I come from New Freelandia on and on Go watch a bunch of old MR. Show tapes, you will find something of worth. ---

How true. How about “Only one man would DARE give me the raspberry”. Can you tell me where that line comes from? ---

But, it is funny. And if someone figures it out, they will be impressed with how clever you are. Come to think of it, it sounds like something I’ve heard before. Was it on the simpson. From Mr. Burns, mayor quimby perhaps? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ChrisP One Kenobe \* > \*\*foomcl: Fell Out Of My Chair Laughing… > You don’t mind if I quote you do you? \*\* Please do, but I also have to give credit to my source. It’s from the jargon file (published in book form as _The New Hacker’s Dictionary_, Third Edition 1996), in a section on jargon construction and overgeneralization of grammatical rules. The original quote is “It has been suggested to general approval that the plural of ‘mongoose’ ought to be ‘polygoose’.” [http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/Overgeneralization.html](http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/Overgeneralization.html) ---
