Great Performances will be broadcasting Rupert Goold's Macbeth (starting Patrick Stewart, among others) tonight.

*This joke has its origins, for me, in Lord Peter Whimsey. Although I can't cite the exact quote he uses at the present moment, I want to avoid plagiarism like the plague. Thank you.
Update: The joke's origin is in Dorthoy L. Sayers, Clouds of Witness, New York: Harper and Row, 1987.
