For some reason a glaze passes over people's faces when you say
"Canada".  Maybe we should invade South Dakota or something.

		   the U.S.

Sometimes I simply feel that the whole world is a cigarette and I'm
the only ashtray.

It is necessary for the welfare of society that genius should be
privileged to utter sedition, to blaspheme, to outrage good taste, to
corrupt the youthful mind, and generally to scandalize one's uncles.
		-- George Bernard Shaw

Perfection is reached, not when there is no longer anything to add, but
when there is no longer anything to take away.
		-- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

If God wanted us to be brave, why did he give us legs?
		-- Marvin Kitman
