T-shirts: *Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me? *Ask me about my complete lack of interest. Bumper stickers: *Consider: Amateurs built the ark, Professionals built the Titanic. *If at first you don’t succeed, maybe losing is your style. *There are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can’t.
LAST WORDS - “God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny.” (Garrison Keillor)
