When you see this on your f'list, quote something from Shakespeare.

I am pretty sure I can still rattle off the entire "To be or not to be" soliloquy from memory, but I don't feel like sitting here and typing the whole thing.

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy"

"Dost know this waterfly?" (Hamlet) (Shakespeare loved his gay jokes - I'd use the "It's all Greek to me" bit from Julius Caesar, but I can't recall the exact line.)

THESEUS:

Come my Hippolyta, our nuptial hour draws on apace.
Four happy days bring in another moon.
But oh methinks, how slow the old moon wanes.
She lingers my desires, like to a step-dame or a dowager,
Long withering out a young man's revenues.

HIPPOLYTA

Four days will quickly steep themselves in night.
Four nights will quickly dream away the time.
And then the moon, like to a silver bow
New bent in heaven, shall behold the night of our solemnities.

I'd better stop now, although I have a mad urge to keep going. Midsummer's Night Dream. On a good day, I can quote the whole first scene. The second scene I fall down on, and I know good bits of the third. I was trying to memorize the hwole play, once upon a time.
