1.80 x 10^12 furlongs per fortnight -- it's not just a good idea, it's
the law!
The chief danger in life is that you may take too may precautions.

But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the
system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed,

Don't hate yourself in the morning -- sleep till noon.
If an S and an I and an O and a U
With an X at the end spell Su;
And an E and a Y and an E spell I,
Pray what is a speller to do?
Then, if also an S and an I and a G
And an HED spell side,
There's nothing much left for a speller to do
But to go commit siouxeyesighed.
-- Charles Follen Adams, "An Orthographic Lament"

instead! Now when I drive at night, it looks like everyone else is
standing still ...
-- Steven Wright
Death is Nature's way of recycling human beings.
Speak softly and own a big, mean Doberman.
-- Dave Millman
