There's a simple answer for that. Take a few days off and reread the archives a few times. Ha ha!

I'd like to reference my current sig as a punchline that I'd LOVE to use in real life if it ever became possible, which it won't. I'll repeat it so that in the future when I change my sig the readers won't get confused:

Have you ANY IDEA what a scone-deprived Englishman is capable of doing?

I was tutoring this girl on Macbeth last week, and I told her about my punchline from Dagger of the Mind in the scene where Spock mindmelds with the crazy guy: "Lots of sound and fury, but nothing of significance." She looked at me funny.

I suppose a fun subcategory for this thread would be Shakespeare punchlines you wish you could use in real life.

"I wish my horse had the speed of your tongue."

"I play the villain."

"If I had my will, I would bite. If I had my liberty, I would do my liking. In the meantime, let me be as I am, and do not seek to alter me!"
