        Same and for like ten years. Nobody has ever understood the reference in that whole span but the sentence alone is funny

          Is this actually the original use of that sentence?

            No, the original is from the Judeo-Christian holy texts:

            Genesis 4:8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

            Genesis 4:9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

            Genesis 4:10 “I don’t know,” he replied. “I am not a clever man.”
