[Ganidirsii O'Flynn]

"Why is it that when someone says "Heads Up!" what they really mean is "Duck!"?

"If you're always supposed to 'look before you leap', how come 'he who hesitates is lost'?"

"How come there's always a 'moment of silence' for the dead folks in an accident? Why not a 'moment of muffled conversation' for all those treated and released?"

"Have you ever noticed that you can't blow your nose and fart at the same time? You can't do it! It's like your body has already figured out that letting go of both ends at once will have you cleaning far more of the house than you really intended...."

-----George Carlin, Sage, Mentor, Demigod
