I’ve mentioned previously about one of my labors of love, formerly my “quarantine goal” to read–yes, read–every single issue of Playboy magazine. So far I’m up to January 1964.

Imagine my surprise in said issue to find an old joke. I’d always known this was an old joke, I just didn’t realize I was off by a quarter of a century.

One of the most famous lines in all of cinema follows one of cinema’s most famous non-verbal scenes. (Well, non-verbal in a manner of speaking.) The diner scene from When Harry Met Sally. Meg Ryan (Sally) demonstrating, well, her acting ability. Elderly woman in the restaurant (director Rob Reiner’s mother): “I’ll have what she’s having.”

That joke is now more than 30 years old.

Actually, no, it’s more than 50 years old. It was in Playboy in 1964, and apparently, as went the deal at the time, some lucky reader got 25 bucks for it.

Probably stole it from someone else, but I guess that’s how these things go.
