I think we've already established that I watched far, far too many hours of Looney Tunes cartoons in my youth.

(But I maintain that they were FAR more educational - at least in terms of mid-century American culture - than many of today's cartoons are. I learned what a War Bond was, for example, from Bugs Bunny.)

Today in stats we did correlation coefficients. And I was mightily, mightily tempted to walk in there and exclaim in my best Daffy-Duck-impersonating-Jerry-Colonna impression, "Greetings, gates! Let's correlate!" (the best reference that I can find to the original)

But sadly, I knew that (a) not a one of them would get it and (b) as I was being evaluated today, anything that made me look like a nut (well, more of one than I usually do) would be inadvisable.
