Y'know you can't please all the people all the time... and last night all those people were at my show.

There are three roads to ruin women gambling and technicians. The most pleasant is with women the quickest is with gambling but the surest is with technicians.

The Sunday School teacher talked too much in the way our grade school teacher used to when she told us about George Washington. Pleasant pretty stories but not true.
