Can you guess who said it?


"Can I borrow your towel for a sec? My car just hit a water buffalo."

- to Gail Stanwyck, who answers the door wearing a towel


This is one of the best lines ever from one of the greatest movies ever.

I was inspired by an article I recently read to make sure when I use a clever quote like this that I reproduce it accurately. However, I'm almost tempted to misquote on purpose so I can draw out the nerd in the crowd who will tell me I'm saying it wrong so I can throw him over the hood of my car...there's one in every crowd.

I forgot you were out there Chris. I thought this would be a tough one but I can see that I need to make the quotation more obscure next time. ;)

Of course Chris would know something like that.
