From an episode of Seinfeld:
KRAMER: (eating some nachos) Anyway, it's been two years. I mean isn't there like statue of limitations on that?
JERRY: Statute.
KRAMER: What?
JERRY: Statute of limitations. It's not a statue.
KRAMER: No, it's statue.
JERRY: Fine, it's a sculpture of limitations.
KRAMER: Wait a minute, Just wait a minute...Elaine, Elaine! Now you're smart, is it statue or statute of limitations?
ELAINE: Statute.
KRAMER: Oh, I really think you're wrong.
