Cæsar sends health to Cato,' would well have earned Quin's indignant reproof, 'I wish he'd sent it by some other messenger.'"

text: Long stretches of the railroad south from Hankow were torn up by bombs from Chennault’s planes, and their attacks limited traffic to nighttime on the parallel Hsiang River. The combined efforts of the Chinese troops at Heng-yang and Chennault’s pilots effectively stalled the Japanese advance. Chiang, however, would not approve any further shipments of arms and munitions to Hunan out of concern that they would strengthen his potential and real political rivals, and Chinese counterattacks failed to cut the Japanese supply line or relieve the siege of Heng-yang. Finally, on August 8, Heng-yang fell after a 47-day siege in which more than 15,000 of the 16,275 Chinese defenders perished. The Japanese suffered 20,000 casualties.

This format of joke is first attested in a November 2011 tweet by American screenwriter Ethan Hunter (@ethanhunter).
Senses: examples: text: Setting aside the fact that Trump inviting a group of lawmakers to the White House to discuss trade policy only to launch into an out-of-nowhere rant about one of his enemies being fat is the definition of the phrase “ma’am, this is an Arby’s,” Trump’s hatred for Nadler goes way back.
ref: 2019 April 9, Bess Levin, “Trump's Radical Anti-Impeachment: Fat Jokes”, in Vanity Fair:
text: When you’re doing your job as a journalistic commentator in its highest form, you’re drawing new parallels, expanding the Overton Window, opening people’s minds and also ensuring them they aren’t alone in their frustrations with the status quo. When done at its most hacky, however, you’re ranting at people, making leaps and assumptions that gloss over reality, casting yourself as omniscient genius, and generally just pulling real “Sir, this is an Arby’s” shit.
ref: 2021 October 13, Blair Stenvick, “If I Ever Run for Governor, Please Don't Vote for Me”, in Portland Mercury:
text: I wonder if you’re familiar with the “Sir, this is an Arby’s” meme. Let me illustrate it for you:
Person A [with aggressive aggravation]: Can you believe it? The other day, I heard someone refer to the book of Genesis. Surely you KNOW that Genesis is not just “a book,” but the first part of the Pentateuch, and the Pentateuch is a five-fold book, not five books. Do you know what the first word is in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy? It’s and. BOOM. What did Jesus call the Torah? “The book of Moses.” Not the books of Moses.
Person B [laconically]: Sir, this is an Arby's.
