That's it, I AM old

So I'm reading last week's Washington Post (the blog is not the only place where I keep getting behind), and I find this article about quotes that SHOULD have been on the AFI's list. (See below -- I'm too lazy to link right now). And what should hit me right smack-dab in the eye but Jack Lemmon's immortal "Captain, it is I, Ensign Pulver, and I just threw your stinkin' palm tree overboard."

I can't believe I forgot to gripe about that one not being on the list. My most abject apologies, Mr. Lemmon.

(And incidentally, how come you always got the movies with the best lines? You must have had an absolute genius for picking the right script.)
