"I couldn't be clearer if I was a button hook in well water!"

Congratulations to Juliette, SassyGinger, Mel, and VKMfan for getting the quote right last week! Ironically, I read soon after that the quote was featured on a list of funniest movie quotes (and I think I misquoted it slightly.. oops!).

"I couldn't be clearer if I was a button hook in well water!"
