It's been a while, but I think Julie Andrews took a double-take on that line too.

Douglas Adams took note of this one, too, and organized a contest to figure out a good replacement line -- it's documented in 'Salmon of Doubt'.

Best I managed to come up with: "La, a set of formal rules!"

. . . which doesn't really mesh with the tone of the rest.

In Response to mollyscribbles (#57282):

Good call, I was just coming here to post that. In fact I found a web-site that has that particular gripe of Adams on it.

It's bugged me for the longest time too.
