Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?"

"Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?"

"I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven."

"Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each one."
