Over the weekend, too

And so profound too !!!

Since you haven't supplied a quote, I am offering you a list of quotes that you may wish to sample. All gratuitous.

"To do two things at once is to do neither." --Publilius Syrus, 1st century A.D. Roman slave

"The first rule of being in charge is that everything is your fault."
--from the film "A Bug's Life"

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a d*mn." -- Rhett Butler in "Gone with the wind"

"Gay cowboys eating pudding" -- "South Park" creators' idea of what art films are all about

Take a peek at the Front Page, Paul

This must be what you mean, then: "Why is it that, when it's really windy, it's difficult to breathe?"




I hope I can remember to take my memory pills tonight.

"Why is it that, when it's really windy, it's difficult to breathe?"

In order to inhale, your diaphragm has to expand outwards. That's hard to do when the wind is pushing your abdomen so it can't expand.



That was a freebie. If you ever have a really *hard* question you need answered, think of Fluffy Pink Rabbit Answer Services. We have competitive rates...

I knew that! I just didn't get to the buzzer fast enough.

Right, here's something I have never been able to figure ... Why do those nasty lottery people always manage to select exactly the wrong numbers?

Shhh! You can't afford to let Fluffy Pink Rabbit answer that one. Not that you can't afford his fees, but rather that his answer is apt to be so strange that your brain will try to escape by squirting out your left ear and run off to join the circus...

Oh dear, I do see your point. The circus just left town, and they turned right, which could wreak serious havoc with the centredness of reality as I once read of it ...

The circus left town because it saw FPR coming.

Well, it just goes to reason... Compared to FPR, a circus is downright logical.

"Right, here's something I have never been able to figure ... Why do those nasty lottery people always manage to select exactly the wrong numbers?"

And they often pick ones right next to the ones you have. That's just rubbing it in.

"Lottery will get you nowhere" is my mantra.
