Was that a Golgafrincham Captain quote?

mudshark: You know, I think that might be it.

Brings to mind:

Golgafrincham Captain (upon realizing that the B Ark of useless middlemen was sent off into space first): I'm sure that there was a reason.
Ford: You're all a load of useless bloody loonies!
Captain: Yes! That was the reason!

Okay, so it's not an EXACT reference, but that's what was brought to mind. Let me compare it to a quote I once wrote for a fiver-like MST of a Yu-gi-oh episode:

Yugi: Why do I think that this isn't gonna end well?
Yami: You're smarter than the average lima bean?
Yugi: That might be it.

As If! (basically Five-Minute Yu-gi-oh)

Possibly. Nobody saw me, so I may or may not have actually done it.

Vroomfondel: I demand that demarkation MAY or MAY NOT be the problem.

So...You demand clearly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty?

@Z: You did and you didn't in simultaneous superposition, surely? In which case, you're nicked.
