I wasn't sure if anyone would catch the fact that I
plagiarized an entire line from William Shakespeare's
"A Comedy Of Errors" when I "created" that "yo mama"
joke.

Dromio of Syracuse is describing the incredibly fat
kitchen wench named Luce, to his master Antipholus of
Syracuse.  He is the identical twin of his long-lost
(and at that point in the play, still long-lost)
brother Dromio of Ephesus, Dromio of Ephesus is
engaged to Luce, and circumstances have swapped the
two sets of brothers (the Dromios and the
Antipholuses), so Dromio of Syracuse is stuck in the
lewd embraces of Luce.

The entire speech of Dromio of Syracuse to Antipholus
of Syracuse, describing Luce, is one long "yo mama is
so fat" joke, starting off with "I know not what use
to put her but to make a lamp of her and run from her
by her own light" and ending up with describing her as
a globe and finding many of Earth's countries on her.

So I claim the intellectual literary privilege of
having the only "yo mama" joke with an actual
quotation from the Bard himself.
