So he increases the sound-system volume setting from '4' to 'Meteor Impact,' and he puts in a CD by a band with a name like 'Pustule,' and the next thing I know gigantic nuclear bass notes have blown out all the car windows and activated both the driver- and passenger-side air bags, and I'm writhing on the floor, screaming for mercy with jets of blood spurting three feet from my ears. My son then ejects the CD, smiling contentedly, knowing he as purchased a winner. On those extremely rare occasions when I like one of his CDs, I imagine he destroys it with a blowtorch.[Dave Barry] Quote:All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Jim Bakker spells his name with two k's because three would be too obvious.[Bill Maher] Quote:It is by the goodness of God that, in this country, we have three benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either.[Mark Twain] Quote:Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty.

Kennedy] Quote:If your kid makes one of those little homemade guitars out of a cigar box and rubber bands, don't let him just play it once or twice and then throw it away. Make him practice on it, every day, for about three hours a day. Later, he'll thank you.[Jack Handey] Quote:There are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, and a third which imitates them.[Plato] Quote:You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a firefly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart. [Fred Allen] Quote:For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three. [Arthur C. Clarke] Quote:One kind word can warm three winter months. [Japanese proverb] Quote:Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for me--I've ducked it like root canal. Still there's no denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there with birth and death as one of the three biggies in the human safari.
