"You want it in one line? Does it have to fit in 80 columns?"

Is this a quote from somewhere? It’s actually a valid question however it also sounds like something that could be meme-ish. If it’s longer than 120, maybe 160, characters, then yeah it’s kind of silly and why do it in one line.

It must be thirty years ago now.
