The result is that very few people fix cars.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is never okay to throw away veteran underwear. A real guy checks the garbage regularly in case somebody - and we are not naming names but this would be his wife - is quietly trying to discard his underwear, which she is frankly jealous of, because the guy seems to have a more intimate relationship with it than with her.[Dave Barry] Quote:I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Last night I was playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.[Steven Wright] Quote:For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality.

[Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde] Quote:True luck consists not in holding the best of the cards at the table; luckiest is he who knows just when to rise and go home.
