"My wife is an avid reader of literature." "Since when did the television listings become 'literature'? That's the most transparent semantic ploy I have ever heard." "Are you accusing me of owning a television?" "He who can see the maggots need not ask if the dog is dead." "'Ignore the shadow cast by a passing vapor, says Phonetes."
