Has ne1 noticed a pun in the first 4 lines of act 1?

SAMPSON
Gregory, o' my word, we'll not carry coals.

GREGORY
No, for then we should be colliers.

SAMPSON
I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw.

GREGORY
Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o' the collar.

Collier -> coal miner.

Yup..how can you miss it?

It's right up there with "take the wall" and "thrust to the wall"; also, for modern readers, "draw thy tool" and "my naked weapon is out."

You can't show R-rated movies to kids in the classroom...but Shakespeare can get away with this! Carpe Diem
