I'm a Lisp variable -- bind me!
Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by
Jackasses.
-- H. L. Mencken
It's not Camelot, but it's not Cleveland, either.
-- Kevin White, mayor of Boston
For some reason a glaze passes over people's faces when you say
"Canada". Maybe we should invade South Dakota or something.
-- Sandra Gotlieb, wife of the Canadian ambassador to
the U.S.
How many hors d'oeuvres you are allowed to take off a tray being
carried by a waiter at a nice party?
Two, but there are ways around it, depending on the style of the hors
d'oeuvre. If they're those little pastry things where you can't tell
what's inside, you take one, bite off about two-thirds of it, then
say: "This is cheese! I hate cheese!" Then you put the rest of it
back on the tray and bite another one and go, "Darn it! Another
cheese!" and so on.
-- Dave Barry, "The Stuff of Etiquette"
All I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power.
-- Ashleigh Brilliant
The human brain is like an enormous fish -- it is flat and slimy and
has gills through which it can see.
-- Monty Python
Harry is heavily into camping, and every year in the late fall, he
makes us all go to Assateague, which is an island on the Atlantic Ocean
famous for its wild horses. I realize that the concept of wild horses
probably stirs romantic notions in many of you, but this is because you
have never met any wild horses in person. In person, they are like
enormous hooved rats. They amble up to your camp site, and their
attitude is: "We're wild horses. We're going to eat your food, knock
down your tent and poop on your shoes. We're protected by federal law,
just like Richard Nixon."
-- Dave Barry, "Tenting Grandpa Bob"
