One, ignore it, two, file a protest, three, issue a statement condemning it, four, cut off aid, five, sever diplomatic relations, six, declare war. Now, if we ignore it, we tacitly acknowledge it, if we file a protest it’ll be ignored, if we issue a statement it will seem weak, we can’t cut off aid because we’re not giving any, if we sever relations we risk losing the oil contract and if we declare war… people might just think we’re overreacting.” Sir Humphrey, _Yes Minister_. ---

You’re kidding, right? 😉 I used “Crumbs, crumbs, crumbs, yay!” just the other day in casual conversation… and there was a time when I couldn’t go a week without saying “Who is driving?

> [@Steve Wright](#): > > WAG: Milly from _This Life_? No. (Although, like the _Sports Night_ quote, I supposed it’s possible that someone else wrote the same line of dialog for another show.) Xander Harris from _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ and Sir Humphrey Appleby from _Yes, Minister_ are correct. Is anybody going to take a shot at #18?
