I thought of this, because there's this line from a TV pilot, a remake of Peter Gunn from quite a few years back, that I can't forget.

In a scene where Peter (played by Peter Strauss, in case you're curious) meets his new secretary, Maggie, she's explaining to him that she's there because his old secretary met a man named Zorbo, and has gone back to Crete to marry him...

Then, in the middle of her monologue, she pauses and asks Peter, "Would someone from Crete be considered a Cretin?"

And Peter, not missing a beat, responds with a straight face: "I don't see why not."

(This, by the way, is my way of getting my mind off of another "DRM is bad, the darknet is your friend" argument in another section. Help me out, guys.)
