Wait a minute, can I help it if the original poster, and Jane Curtin to
boot, are fuzzy on classical languages?  What did you want me to do,
misquote Jane? (1)  Or maybe I should have added footnotes.  How silly,
footnotes in a posting to net.jokes! (2)

(1)  (In case you can't tell, :-)

(2)  "It's a joke son!  I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em!
      (Nice boy, but the fast ones just go over his head.)" (3)

(3)  Foghorn Leghorn, of course (4)

(4)  Possibly misquoted from memory... it wasn't near a photograph.
