| Quote:My son first wanted to go to Stanford, which I thought was O.K. The weather is pretty good, and it's a fairly short drive to the beach. But it wouldn't be as good as let's say, Pepperdine, which is in Malibu. And he said, 'Dad, what about the education?' I said, 'Clearly, I failed as a parent.'[Larry Ellison] Quote:Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Admit it, sport-utility-vehicle owners! It's shaped a little differently, but it's a station wagon! And you do not drive it across rivers! You drive it across the Wal-Mart parking lot![Dave Barry] Quote:Talking about golf is always boring. (Playing golf can be interesting, but not the part where you try to hit the little ball; only the part where you drive the cart.)[Dave Barry] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:I assume you are on the Internet. If you are not, then pardon my French, but vous ehzeh un big loser. Today EVERYBODY is on the Internet, including the primitive Mud People of the Amazon rain forest. In the old days, when the Mud People needed food, they had to manually throw spears at wild boars; whereas today they simply get on the Internet, go to www.spear-a-boar.com and click their mouse a few times (the Mud People use actual mice). Within three business days, a large box is delivered to them by a UPS driver, whom they eat.[Dave Barry] Quote:I have not felt remotely cool for a long time, thanks largely to the relentless efforts of my teenage son, whose goal in life is to make me feel 3,500 years old. We'll be in the car, and he'll say, 'You wanna hear my new CD?' And I, flattered that he thinks his old man might like the same music he does, will say 'Sure!' 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:Everyone is in awe of the lion tamer in a cage with half a dozen lions -- everyone but a school bus driver.[Laurence Peter] Quote:Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's in walking distance.[Author Unknown] Quote:Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you, but not in one ahead.[Author Unknown] Quote:A man's drive for profit should be prompted by the desire to give charity.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:Drive thy business or it will drive thee.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Drive thy business or it will drive thee. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt. [Dr. Thomas Fuller] Quote:Hey, what do you think drives all this grey matter up here? Electricity. It's brain waves surfing on synaptic junctions. If your radio can go out because of sun spots, why can't your cerebellum? It's all a matter of reception and it seems to me these signals are going to get crossed somehow. It's all logical.
