[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Saxamaphone"]At any rate - the joke is effective for the very reson it dosen't appeal to you. The word is so used that it flows naturally off the tongue. The joke is natural, not contrived.[/quoteost_uid0]
Yes, thank you. The "I like anagrams" is intended to fly under the radar, as opposed to acting like a large sledgehammer.

How about this?

[bost_uid0]Morpheus:[/bost_uid0] ...and after the first One left, the Oracle predicted there'd be another One. That's you, Neo.
[bost_uid0]Neo:[/bost_uid0] So what makes you think I'm the Two?
[bost_uid0]Morpheus:[/bost_uid0] No, no, no. Not the Two -- the One.
[bost_uid0]Neo:[/bost_uid0] Whatever. What makes you think I'm the One?
[bost_uid0]Morpheus:[/bost_uid0] I like anagrams.

Alternatively, since Derek pointed out that this scene was very short in the film:

[bost_uid0]Neo:[/bost_uid0] What makes you think I'm the One?
[bost_uid0]Morpheus:[/bost_uid0] I like anagrams.

We could always use the Two joke later. I'm actually inclined to lean towards the shorter version.[/colorost_uid0]
