[1] Of the scant 18 Google hits for this phrase prior to publication of this comic, most refer to an episode of "Christchurch's nerdiest comedy show" and a headline from an article in the Sydney Morning Herald. The same headline is also echoed in other newspapers such as the Canberra Times. It seems this particular pun has only ever occurred to people from Australia or New Zealand.
