I've noticed that there are more than a few people in my "circle" that reference light opera and musicals in casual conversation. For example, a friend was returning from a lovely trip to Iran. He asked the flight attendant for some London Pride, and the flight attendant broke in to Gilbert and Sullivan. Just now in our living room, the partner referenced The Music Man. I routinely mention "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General" whenever I can, but I'm a former theatre geek and theatre arts major. It does help when it's also mentioned in an excellent tv show.
Anyway. What's your favorite light opera quote?
