191. Laurel and Hardy

Seeing as most people who would actually know about this one are dead,  I don't expect a lot of agreement.

This old school comedic duo consisted of one fat guy and one skinny guy, which I guess was supposed to add to the irony of the situation or something. One of these guys used to say, quite often if I remember correctly, and I often do, "this is another fine mess you've gotten us into." I guess Oliver Hardy used to say this.

Well, now he never said that. Not even once. This classic phrase has been changed to "another nice mess."

Another nice mess you've gotten us into, Mr. Mandela.
