"How would you ever support a wife, Mr. Wooster?"
"It depends on whose wife it was. I would've said a gentle pressure beneath the left elbow when crossing a busy street normally fills the bill."
From Season One, Episode One of "Jeeves and Wooster," starring Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. I think I would like Bertie Wooster even if he weren't being played by Hugh Laurie. But I don't have a particular need to find out.
