I thought I was being rather literal minded about __where__, which
to my scrambled brain had an extra twist when dancing about with
literalism in scriptural exegesis, as well as with missing the point
I thought Mark was alluding to which has a reference in those who

commandments. Ultimately, it's homage to Mel Brooks but some of
the common clay of the new West interpret it otherwise.
