Most unfortunate line in a musical comedy ever:
MAJOR [L.C.] But what in the world has come over you all?
JANE [L.C.] Bunthorne! He has come over us. He has come among us, and he has idealized us.

--From Gilbert & Sullivan's Patience.

Hee. G&S is full of unfortunate lines:

"A rollicking band of pirates we who, tired of tossing on the sea..."

PIRATES: Yes, yes, the Major Gen'ral comes!
POLICE: Yes, yes, the Major Gen'ral comes!
MAJOR GENERAL: Yes, yes, the Major Gen'ral comes!
Tormented with the anguish dread of falsehood unatoned, I lay upon my sleepless bed, and tossed and turned and groaned.

And so on. There was much rehearsal-time mirth when we did Pirates, I must say *s* We have the high-class humour of six-year-olds :)

I think, on the whole, unlikely. But still. :D!

I suppose, I think those two wouldn't have included something so vulgar....
