Reminded me of a line from Blackadder - talking about William Pitt

Pitt: You will regret this, gentlemen. You think you can thwart my plans to bank-
rupt the Prince by fixing the Dunny-on-the-Wold bye-election, but you will
be thrashed! I intend to put up my own brother as a candidate against you.

Blackadder: Oh, and which Pitt would this be: Pitt the Toddler? Pitt the Embryo? Pitt
the Glint in the Milkman's Eye?
