Stilton: Your Nelson quote reminded me of another situation where famous words have been used humorously out of context.
Robert Lindsey (Citizen Smith) was in a play during some kind of summer festival in Stratford as part of a Shakespeare celebration. One day between shows he want for a walk in the town and saw a camping shop. It was just an ordinary camping shop, but what caught his eye was a sign in the window which said, "Now is the discount of our winter tents..."
Which I think is pretty clever ;)
