Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
"The time you won your town the race /We chaired you through the market-place; /Man and boy stood cheering by, /And home we brought you shoulder-high…
Smart lad, to slip betimes away /From fields where glory does not stay /And early though the laurel grows /It withers quicker than the rose…
Now you will not swell the rout /Of lads that wore their honours out, /Runners whom renown outran /And the name died before the man…
And round that early-laurelled head /Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, /And find unwithered on its curls /The garland briefer than a girl’s."
"Now take back the soul of Denys George Finch Hatton, whom You have shared with us. He brought us joy…we loved him well.
He was not ours.

“Oh, the Pope warned me never to trust the CIA!”
“I guess you won’t be attending that hat convention…”

But you left out the best part of the gag -
