Just realized there appears to be a Johnny Cash joke buried in here.

It's a secret reference to the Scopes Trial, as well. "Sue Hicks" served as a member of the Scopes Trial prosecution team, although his role was vastly overshadowed by the presence of William Jennings Bryan, an activist and former presidential candidate who had been invited to join the team as a special prosecutor. Hicks is thought to have been the inspiration for the Shel Silverstein song "A Boy Named Sue," which was popularized by country music performer Johnny Cash in 1969.
