The man in the back row was Sidney Morgenbesser (1921-2004), and he just died recently. Even funnier when you know who said it first ... I've usually heard it as "Yeah, yeah". http://www.crookedtimber.org/archives/002271.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Morgenbesser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._L._Austin Austin's book, How to do Things with Words, is a classic and quite easy to read. It deals with speech acts, and influenced John Searle in his work on same.
