Last year Neil Gaiman won the Hugo, the biggest award in science fiction
and fantasy. As I heard the story, his acceptance speech either
consisted of, or was very short and was followed by, the line "Fuck, I
got a Hugo!"

Someone commented that he'd better not say the corresponding thing if he
ever wins an award (AFAIK, so far nonexistent) named in honor of Philip
K. Dick.
