Lady, You must be psychic!
The legend of the Sword of Damocles gets mentioned in Half-Wits Holiday (1947),
when a pie gets thrown up and stuck to the ceiling during a party. One of the
guests (Stooge female stalwart Symona Boniface) starts talking with Moe Howard,
who is getting increasingly nervous as the pie starts coming loose. Finally the
guest asks, "Young man, what's wrong? You act as if the Sword of Damocles was
hanging over your head", to which Moe replies, "Lady, you must be psychic!" and
walks away. She comments, "I wonder what's wrong with that young man?" as she
looks up, and gets the pie right in the face.
