A few very old one-liners of the sort "She was only a <fill in the blank> daughter...":
- She was only a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still.
- She was only a rancher's daughter, but all the cow manure.
- She was only a clergyman's daughter, but you couldn't put anything pastor.
- She was only a statistician's daughter, but she knew all the standard deviations.

Not really. My Dad knew Morse from the army and I picked up some of the conventions from him (dah/di/dit for verbalising dashes and dots, for example), but I don't actually know Morse (not the whole alphabet, anyway). Enough to get your "dada did dit" joke. I'm just using the Morse/text translator OCR and I have been linking since #3904.davenn said:

I was referencing Adams - when the philosophers hear The Answer after SEVEN AND A HALF MILLION YEARS they have to hurriedly come up with an Ultimate Question whose answer could plausibly be 42. Adams was almost certainly referencing Dylan with that particular choice of question, yes.

I remember my Dad reading Small Gods to me and having to take a break to stop laughing and start breathing again after they encounter the Ephebean philosopher Ibid. He's the most cited philosopher ever...
