I can hardly take credit for it. As H. G. Blob noted, it was in Futurama before I posted it. Although...
The writers of Futurama can't take original credit for it either, however very funny and hard to catch it is.
This duplication of "the" or "of" between printed lines goes back, like, a hundred years or more. It's the verbal equivalent of an optical illusion. So, you know, you're not really supposed to get it until it's pointed out. It's a Futurama writers' geek joke -- one of my favorite kinds of joke.
P.S. "Legalation"? Dang, now I'll have to go back and check that darn episode again. See, even when you know you're being tricked, you can be tricked.

if you go to gotfuturama.com
then episode guide, them go to the bottom of the page and choose your season, then at the bottom of each little episode prolile, click on "# Frame Grabs". most episodes have more than 200.
most of you prolly already knew that.

Just one extra "would"? Just one, you say? Oh, and I get my "cigars" from Hermes, of course. But that's not a cigar. And it's not mine. (Oh, wait, maybe it is.)
