I had an interest in death from an early age. It fascinated me. When I heard “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,” I thought, Did he fall or was he pushed?”

A woman's vagina is a finely-calibrated instrument, like a Steinway piano. Whereas, a man's penis is like a kazoo. You keep it in your pocket, pull it out and play with it once in a while... hopefully somebody will blow on it." - Adam Corolla

What actions are most excellent ?
To gladden the heart of human beings.
To feed the hungry,to help the afflicted,
To lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful,
And to remove the sufferings of the injured.

As the British have lost their empire and, more important, lost their respect for laws and standards, Britannia has gone from ruling the waves to waiving the rules. -- Thomas Sowell --
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

What a pity, when Christopher Colombus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it

It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Mark Twain
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.

'Cold is God's way of telling us to burn more Catholics'. Black Adders's auntie in the 'Beer' episode. Rowan Atkinson and Black Adder were virtually unknown in Canada at the time. I by chance saw this episode on PBS many years ago. Saw it again recently, one of the funniest lines I ever heard on tv.
"If the public had faith in their government, single payer would be reality and socialism would work."-- anon --
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as “bad luck.” -- Robert Heinlein --

Gordon Strachan, always good for an interview.
“If I say anything at all there will be headlines all over the place.”
“Scotland have a system which is getting better, but it's players who win and lose games. Look at England. They have a system, but if the opposition players jump higher, tackle harder and shoot better, your system is in trouble.”
"When he [Claus Lundekvam] was carried off at Leicester someone asked me if he was unconscious, but I didn't have a clue. He's always like that....."
Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?
Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there....
Its an incredible rise to stardom. At 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than Sven Goran Eriksson. On Wayne Rooney
“I'm going home now to get myself a Coca-Cola and a packet of crisps and I'll sit in front of the television and look at the table on Teletext all night.”
"He [Sir Alex Ferguson] used to play tapes of Bill Shankly talking. I remember that and a singer he liked. I don't know who it was but it was crap. He played it on the team bus too, and all the boys hated it. Until one night it got chucked away. If he's still wondering who threw that tape off the bus, it was me. So maybe he was right and I'm not to be trusted....."
Reporter: This might sound like a daft question, but you'll be happy to get your first win under your belt, won't you?
Strachan: You're right. It is a daft question. I'm not even going to bother answering that one. It is a daft question, you're spot on there.
"I tried to get the disappointment out of my system by going for a walk. I ended up 17 miles from home and I had to phone my wife, Lesley to come and pick me up."
Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?
Strachan: No, I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.
Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad?
Strachan: I dont care, I'm Scottish
“Pahars has also caught every virus going except a computer virus and he is probably working on that even now.”
Reporter: "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?"
Strachan: "Velocity" [walks off]
Reporter: Welcome to Southampton Football Club. Do you think you are the right man to turn things around?
Strachan: No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and I said, "No, I think they should have got George Graham because I'm useless."
Reporter: Is that your best start to a season?
Strachan: Well I've still got a job so it's far better than the Coventry one, that's for sure.
“I have discovered that when you go to Anfield or Old Trafford, it pays not to wear a coloured shirt because everyone can see the stains as the pressure mounts. I always wear a white shirt so nobody sees you sweat.”
Reporter: Are you getting where you want to be with this team?
Strachan: We're not doing bad. What do you expect us to be like? We were eighth in the league last year, in the cup final and we got into Europe. I don't know where you expect me to get to. Do you expect us to win the Champions League?
Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?
Strachan: You're spot on! You can read me like a book.
I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish by today, the expiry date is today. That can be my priority rather than Agustin Delgado.
Reporter: There's no negative vibes or negative feelings here?
Strachan: Apart from yourself, we're all quite positive round here. I'm going to whack you over the head with a big stick, down negative man, down.
Reporter: You don't take losing lightly, do you Gordon?
Strachan: I don't take stupid comments lightly either
