Werner Heisenberg, Kurt Gödel, and Noam Chomsky walk into a bar.

Heisenberg says, "It's very odd and improbable that we three are in this bar together. It suggests to me that we're in a joke, but I can't be certain."

Gödel says, "Well, if we were outside the joke we would know, but since we're inside it, there's no way we can make that determination."

And Chomsky says, "Of course this is a joke, but you're telling it wrong!"

Works a bit better in the form, "I'll be with οι πολλοι". (Or, for that matter, leaving it in Roman characters but using italics to set off the foreign phrase, "I'll be with hoi polloi," or "I'll be with the polloi." (I'm not picky about which redundant 'the' you strike.))
