It's just funny because if you weren't on board in the beginning everyone had to figure it out - including me.

Many people credit it to Shakespear's Othello, but it was first found in text in Francois Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel:

"These two did oftentimes do the two-backed beast together, joyfully rubbing and frotting their bacon ‘gainst one another, in so far, that at last she became great with child of a fair son, and went with him unto the eleventh month; for so long, yea longer, may a woman carry her great belly, especially when it is some masterpiece of nature, and a person predestinated to the performance, in his due time, of great exploits."

LOL, I have a Masters in 18th Century French Literature and have read everything from the Renaissance through the 19th century, but forgot all about that!!! 

You've outdone yourself Chris. 

Remind me never to play a game of Trivial Pursuit against you!!!

My english professor made me explain this to the whole class when I was a freshman in college when we were reading Othello. Naturally I did it in a visual manor.
