    • Nothing is impossible if you don't have to do it yourself.

    • How about a constitutional amendment that declares anything said in a campaign commercial to be under oath?

    • Could it be that the people who have nothing to say are the ones we should listen to?

    • You'll be happy to know that so far, the funniest name my spell checker has come up with. Is Calista "Flowchart."

    • Real courage is a willingness to attack spaghetti in public.

    • It's hard to relate to this high-tech world when your kid says her Tinker Toys need more memory.

    • Isn't attacking people to teach them not to attack people the same as hitting a child to teach him not to hit others? If neither works, why do we keep doing it?

    • Every day in every way, I was getting worse and worse until I stopped trying to be like other people.

    • To feel good about yourself, is there a quota on how many other people each day you have to condemn?

    • Why is it that some people can remember every detail of the dumbest joke you ever heard, but can't remember how many times they've already told it to you?

    • Only in America would people pay $69.95 for a toaster-oven that automatically burns your waffle.

    • My mind is now so crowded with valuable information that I can't think.

    • Older people are more likely to live in the past because it's already paid for.

    • You know, you can really get wet playing games in that new Pentium-IV dishwasher.

    • If you recall childhood, you may remember that the kids who stuck straws and cigarettes up their noses back then seemed funnier than the ones who stick earrings in their noses today.

    • Enough already with the killer doll movies! Aren't they becoming a little Upchucky?

    • The NFL is boring, the NBA is disintegrating, baseball is totally predictable. Maybe Fox is right, maybe we do need the XFL. Maybe we need Roller Derby. Maybe we need Sumo Hockey.

    • I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death my right to make fun of you.

    • There's just something wonderful about a cold, cold winter morning that makes you want to slow down and take time to stop and smell the smokers.

    • Okay, I have a million awesome clipart images. Now what?

    • One of the great mysteries of life is how a man can leave his car keys in the refrigerator.

    • Some questions you just can't answer. For example, on New Year's Day, 2000, did the flowers in the Rose Bowl Parade think it was 1900?

    • In modern society, fathers are the ones who phone from the golf course.

    • I read the newspaper every day just to see if there's anyone I know in the obituaries or the underwear ads.

    • You don't understand. If you understood, you'd understand that I don't want to understand you!

    • Did you ever wonder if the average terrorist eats a healthy breakfast?

    • Have you noticed that all a newspaper ever does is rearrange the words from yesterday's edition and print them again?
