7. Actually I was just going for a cheap laugh

Not really knowing where that phrase is coming from or why you bring it up, I can't really speak to it intelligently.

8. You know what? Neither can I!

I was baffled by it. So I decided to post a WTF. So far, no cogent explainationas and I am losing interest. Sorry I snapped at you, I'm clearly in a mood.

Origin: Quotation from Publilius Syrus, a Latin writer of maxims in the 1st century BC. In the 17th century, British poet and dramatist John Dryden used it in "Absalom and Achitophel", generally considered to be the greatest political poem in the English language:

Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!
How ill my Fear they by my Mercy scan,
Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.
