"You must be older than Singles to be served in this establishment."

"You must be older than Picket Fences to be served in this establishment."


A friend once theorized that, for any individual, no matter their lack of artistic talent, he or she would be able to draw Tom Skerritt to a level sufficient that the average observer would be able to identify the object of the drawing as "oh yeah... that guy."

"You must be older than The English Patient[fn1][fn2] to be served in this establishment."

 
fn1:  The book, not the movie.
fn2:  Date approximate; Internet yields only the month, and it wouldn't make the New York Times best-seller list until 1996.
