How about some Southern Fried Triple Talk?
Reports that say something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know,"
"We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

Donald Rumsfeld - commenting last year about the hunt for WMD's in Iraq...

I posted this quote on Nov 17, and I see that your wording is slightly different from mine. I got my lines from a theatre company's advertisement for a TBA event; I don't like to misquote, so I appreciate your fuller quote. Please, what was your source?

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

The problem with the designated driver program, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house. - Jeff Foxworthy

See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a pen!s, and only enough blood to run one at a time. - Robin Williams



You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.


-- Richard Jeni (On going to war over religion)

You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, "My God, you're right! I never would've thought of that!" - Dave Barry

"The Web brings people together because no matter what kind of a twisted sexual mutant you happen to be, you've got millions of pals out there. Type in 'Find people that have sex with goats that are on fire' and the computer will say, 'Specify type of goat.'" - Richard Jeni
