2)" I plunk the children in school nine out of ten. I put up with them when they come home three days a month; its not bad at all. You heave them into the 'parlor' adn turn the switch. It's like washing cloths: stuff laundry in and slam the lid."
3)"If you really want to make people happy then don't disagree with them."
4)"Blow your nose on a person, wad them, flush them away, reach for another, blow, wad, flush."
