The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. Mark Twain
What an ugly beast is the ape, and
how like us. They talk of my drinking but never my thirst. One more drink and I'll be under the host. I
drink to make other people more interesting. Inflation has gone up over a dollar a quart. I
haven't touched a drop of alcohol since the invention of the funnel. I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal
lobotomy. I'd hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to
anyone, but they've always worked for me. If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt. In 1932, lame duck President Herbert Hoover was so desperate to
remain in the White House that he dressed up as Eleanor Roosevelt.
When FDR discovered the hoax in 1936, the two men decided to stay
together for the sake of the children. I
would have made a good Pope. Gerry Ford is a nice guy, but he played too much football with his
helmet off. Ronald Reagan is the Fred Astaire of foot-in-mouth disease. Sure Reagan promised to take senility tests. But what if he forgets? Nancy Reagan fell down and broke her hair. Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan - a Mount Rushmore of incompetence. The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is its
inefficiency. What this country needs is more unemployed politicians. Henry James was one of the nicest old ladies I ever met. I
don't jog. If I die I want to be sick. Old people shouldn't eat health foods. They need all the
preservatives they can get. A
closed mouth gathers no feet. Never eat more than you can lift. It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims. They were such a progressive couple they tried to adopt a gay baby. I'm in a phone booth on the corner of Walk and Don't Walk. Recipe (in its entirety) for boiled owl: That man has missed something who has never left a brothel at
sunrise feeling like throwing himself in the river out of pure
disgust. Gary Cooper and Greta Garbo may be the same person. Have you ever
seen them together? I
was gratified to be able to answer promptly. I said I don't know. The enemy came. He was beaten. I am tired. Goodnight. I
happened to catch my reflection the other day when I was polishing
my trophies, and, gee, it's easy to see why women are nuts about me. What to do in case of emergency:
