   I saw this on Jon Stewart, and as soon as Steele said it in the video, the audience screamed in laughter. I didn’t get it until Stewart explained that it was a famous quote from a different famous work of literature! It was comforting to know that some of the now generation are more literate than some of us older people who consider ourselves quite literate.

   Well, I bet the audience was clued in ahead of time. I actually did
   immediately pick up on it, as did Judy who was in the office at the time I came
   across it.
   She said uh -oh.
