Had this sentence ever been said before?
One day, about 20 years ago, I shopped for CDs at a store one of my former high school teachers owned. His wife was at the cash register and said, as she was ringing up my CDs, "The jewel case on this Jefferson Airplane CD is cracked. I'll get you a new one." She replaced the case but didn't put the CD in the bag. I didn't realize it was missing, so I paid for the CDs and left. As I walked back to the car, she ran off down the street after me, saying, "Wait! You forgot your 'Surrealistic Pillow!'" As out-of-context declarations go, I still think that's funny.
