Unclear humor

Matt, The Fredonia reference was deliberately constructed for humorous purposes. Both Fredonia and Firefly are from a Marx brothers movie.

Your objection was to... The humour? An editorial comment on the quality of the humour? What? --ww 19:03, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

More that it would likely confuse as many as it would amuse; I didn't understand the reference, and a quick look revealed that it was likely that quite a few other readers wouldn't either (from a 1933 movie?). I thought about trying to refactor the example without the cultural reference, but then it occurred to me that it was a fairly straightforward and obvious point that might not need an accompanying anecodate anyway. --— Matt 19:28, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
