Subtly Simpsons, a collection of subtle and witty lines from the Simpsons. Including my favorite:

\”They go to an all-night emergency waiting room run by Dr. Nick, they ask Smithers if they can go ahead of him. He replies, \”Uh no, I\’d really rather get this taken care of.\” He\’s standing up, while everyone else is sitting which I believe to be a very subtle reference to the legendary problem gay men supposedly come to emergency rooms with, namely having a foreign object in his anus he is unable to remove.\”

And this one too:

Abe: \”My car gets fourty rods to the hogshead and that\’s the way I like it\”
A rod is an arcane form of measurement, equal to 512 yards or 1612 feet; a perch or pole. A rod is also farming measurement used in spacing the furrows in ploughed fields, of 16.5 feet. A Hog is a large, often old, car or motor-cycle in old U.S. Slang, and a hogshead is an old unit of measurement for liquids equal to 63 old wine-gallons, which is 5212 imperial gallons.

I thought the writers were making up the rods and hogshead thing.
