Funny Quote of the Day

I have a suggestion that I think would help fight serious crime. Signs. There are lots of signs for minor infractions: No Smoking, Stay Off the Grass, Keep Out, and they seem to work fairly well. I think we should also have signs for major crimes: Murder Strictly Prohibited, NO Raping People, Thank You for Not Kidnapping Anyone. It's certainly worth a try. I'm convinced Watergate would never have happened if there had just been a sign in the Oval Office that said, Malfeasance of Office Is Strictly Against the Law, or Thank You for Not Undermining the Constitution.

Celebrity Citing

Sandy B. is admittedly beautiful. But she's also funny and smart and down-to-earth. And as you prollie know, I like those types of "celebrities". She also seems to be happily married and I wish her the best with that.

"I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you. It's what you choose to do with it, the people you choose to surround yourself with. Always choose people that are better than you. Always choose people that challenge you and are smarter than you. Always be the student. Once you find yourself to be the teacher, you've lost it."

(on marital plans) "I've always been very sceptical about marriage, because I only want to do it once; I want to do it the right way."

"I have no desire to maintain a lifestyle. I am a horrible celebrity. If I am out in public I dress like a pig."
