Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the double lock will keep;
May no brick through the window break,
And, no one rob me till I awake.
Man, n.:
An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks
he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His chief
occupation is extermination of other animals and his own species, which,
however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole
habitable earth and Canada.
-- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
Begathon, n.:
A multi-day event on public television, used to raise money so
you won't have to watch commercials.

I have two very rare photographs: one is a picture of Houdini locking
his keys in his car; the other is a rare photograph of Norman Rockwell
beating up a child.
-- Steven Wright
Beware of self-styled experts: an ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a
drip under pressure.
Zymurgy's Law of Volunteer Labor:
People are always available for work in the past tense.
No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere.
