OTOH I still know a hawk from a handsaw, so I got that goin' for me.

The truth is I'm so Shakespeare-challenged that it wasn't until a couple of decades ago when I saw the BBC version of MacBeth with Jeremy Brett that I know where the legendary quote on alcohol "increaseth the desire while it decreaseth the performance" came from.

I don't know if it's still true but when I was in school we were taught that there were two works of literature that, between them, were the source of more common English "turns of phrase" than anything else ever written in the language. One was the King James Bible, and the other was "Hamlet."

Today of course that place of honor would probably go to icanhascheezburger.com, lol.
