Well, the statement itself is quite straightforward, quite true, and
is a New York Times "Quote of the Day" from not too long ago
concerning, IIRC, the authorship of some allegedly Shakespearean
material. (Was that it? Honestly, I may have this wrong...) But also
_extremely_ apt for a Laurel, or any researcher in the SCA to
remember.

I've often thought of using

"My style, I confess, owes much to Dostoyevsky." -- P.G. Wodehouse

but if Joe Torre and Donald Foster are too subtle, I can only imagine
what people will think of _that_...

On the other hand, who was it who wrote that thing yesterday about
the Bush twins being in critical but stable condition after being
surgically dis-conjoined from their beers, with both the twins and
the beers resting comfortably?
