But I confess I don't get the Tom Schafter reference.

Very deft, Ces! This is the kind of language play I love. Ray's quoting Shakespeare and he doesn't even know it. I remember in junior high school when I began to learn just how much of our idioms came from 'high brow' Shakespeare plays and poems. I still think it's cool. :o)

Nice!

Hee! I got a lot of the refs, but not all of them by any stretch.

Sweet, though! Way to dazzle me with your deft hand!

"Hoist on his own petard" was always my favorite. I've heard the complaints about Shakespeare from people who say "Nobody talks like that." How amazed they would be to find out that everyone does.

Ha! Very cute. I love the wordplay.
