Twigs Both Thick and Thin

Repo Man:

Otto: "Lobotomy? Isn't that for loonies?"

Parnell: "Not at all. Friend of mine had one. Designer of the neutron bomb. You ever hear of the neutron bomb? Destroys people - leaves buildings standing. Fits in a suitcase. It's so small, no one knows it's there until - BLAMMO. Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. So immoral, working on the thing can drive you mad. That's what happened to this friend of mine. So he had a lobotomy. Now he's well again."



Revolutionary war statesman James Otis:

"My dear sister, I hope, when God Almighty in his righteous providence shall take me out of time into eternity, that it will be by a flash of lightning."

In 1778 Otis was standing on his front steps looking at the rain when he was struck and killed by a bolt of lightning.


Ann Coulter:

"Anorexics never have boyfriends. ... That's one way to know you don't have anorexia: if you have a boyfriend."

That could be a confession.


Sartre:

"Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do."


Einstein:

"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"

This reminds me of something pointed out to me by a friend who happens to be a doctor, that his is a 'practice', with good reason.

Did you hear about the supermodel who stepped on an ant?

It carried her back down the hole and she was never heard from again.
