  • I never leaf through a copy of National Geographic without realizing how lucky we are to live in a society where it is traditional to wear clothes.

  • If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.

  • Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one Helen Keller is the other.
