In the interest of good patron service, like a good librarian does:
         Rhett Butler's  (thus, "the Butler did it") line in the film
version of "Gone with the Wind" is commonly thought to have been, 
"Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn."  [My source says it was 
actually, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."  And the line 
in the orginal novel was, "My dear, I don't give a damn."]  Thus:
        "FrankLee  'scarlot  eye  donors  giv  en   yams."
I kinda hate taking all the fun out of it, though.  Kind of like 
finding out how the magician saws the woman in half, isn't it?
