I read this article recently: When James Joyce Got Into a Bar Fight, He’d Yell, “Deal With Him, Hemingway!”
Which immediately reminded me of the 6th season Simpsons episode “Lemon of Troy,” where Martin Prince bites off more than he can chew while confronting punks in Shelbyville. He says, “Nobody manhandles the bosom chum of Nelson Muntz. Spring forth, burly protector, and save me!” Which he does, reluctantly.
That might be a good comparison to use in future classes: Ernest Hemingway = Nelson Muntz while Martin Prince = James Joyce. Pretty much sums it up.
