May work on this thread eh ?
I wasn't sure if anyone would catch the fact that I plagiarized an entire line from William Shakespeare's "A Comedy Of Errors" when I "created" that "yo mama" joke.
Dromio of Syracuse is describing the incredibly fat kitchen wench named Luce, to his master Antipholus of Syracuse. He is the identical twin of his long-lost (and at that point in the play, still long-lost) brother Dromio of Ephesus, Dromio of Ephesus is engaged to Luce, and circumstances have swapped the two sets of brothers (the Dromios and the Antipholuses), so Dromio of Syracuse is stuck in the lewd embraces of Luce.
The entire speech of Dromio of Syracuse to Antipholus of Syracuse, describing Luce, is one long "yo mama is so fat" joke, starting off with "I know not what use to put her but to make a lamp of her and run from her by her own light" and ending up with describing her as a globe and finding many of Earth's countries on her.
So I claim the intellectual literary privilege of having the only "yo mama" joke with an actual quotation from the Bard himself.
