invading Poland. -- from Thomas
Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow (1973)

urge to conquer Poland. -- from Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery
(1993)
However I think that Woody Allen has actually used this line before.
Who predates who ? And is my memory a big pile of garbage ?

Der Ring des Nibelungen but I'm worried that after 14 cds of Wagner I might accidently invade Poland.
