Straw-stuck

Anyone know where this quote is from?

"Oh to be that straw sitting in my lady's cup! Gladly would I be made of plastic and risk drowning in a sea of cola to touch fair Kelly's lips."

Straws can be a funny things. You can shoot spit balls, blow bubbles in your favorite beverage and shove them up your nose like Will Smith and Queen Latifah on Fresh Prince. But this weekend while having dinner at a "fine diner" (spoken with a bad British accent), I happened to see a woman plead for help from her husband to remove a straw that apparently had a firm grip on her lip. While the description of the event doesn't do the scene justice, I still laugh as I recall the rescue attempt. Please be aware of those vicious straws--only you can prevent straw-stuckness.

Saved By the Bell, of course! Zach was a weirdo, wasn't he??
HAHA!! That is hilarious!! I must say I, too, have had a straw attack my lip. Although never bad enough that I needed to ask for assistance in removing it!
