“Take me to your liter” (“Take me to your litre”)

“Take me to your leader!” is something a space alien might say. “Take me to your liter/litre!” is something a thirsty person might say.
 
“Sidney Kaye tells of the Martian who landed near a petroleum dump and demanded: ‘Take me to your liter’” was cited in print in July 1958. “Take me to your liter”—in the context of wine—was printed in the New York (NY) Herald Tribune on November 9, 1958.
 
     
Wikipedia: Take me to your leader (phrase)
“Take me to your leader” is a science-fiction cartoon catchphrase, said by an extraterrestrial alien who has just landed on Earth in a spacecraft to the first human it happens to meet. In cartoons, the theme is frequently varied for comic effect, such as a pun on the phrase to suit the setting, or the alien addressing an animal or object it assumes is an earthling.
 
It is believed to have originated in a 1953 cartoon by Alex Graham in The New Yorker magazine. The cartoon depicted two aliens telling a horse “Kindly take us to your President!”

Summary:
Uncle Norm is heading off with his hush hush pals on a camping weekend. He knows that a grown-up needs to drink about one and one-half liters of water every day, and he’s not totally sure how much a liter is. The Rads visit a dairy farm to help him figure out that one and one-half liters times two, or double, would add up to 3 liters, which would help him get through the two day weekend.
