My dad's getting to the point where his war
stories are blending with his other stories.
"We were surrounded, then we ran out of ammo,
then we were dancing, and that's how I met
your mother."
Here's another travel tip. Never ever pack
when you're high.
I don't have to drink to have a good time. I
drink to shut up the voice in my head. And the
voice in my head has a stutter.
George Carlin
We Are All Diseased
This is just a series of things that are
pissing me off. Because I don't have pet
peeves, I have major psychotic fucking
hatreds.
Here's another question I've been pondering.
What is all this shit about angels? Have you
heard this? 3 out of 4 people now believe in
angels. What are you, fucking stupid? Has
everybody lost their fucking minds in this
country?
...
Angels, shit. What about goblins, huh?
Doesn't anybody believe in goblins?
...
And zombies! Where the fuck are all the
zombies?
...
I say if you're going to buy the angel
bullshit, you might as well go for the zombie
package as well.

What we need is a king. And every now and
then, if the king is not doing a good job, we
kill him.
Road rage. Air rage. Why should I be forced
to divide my rage into separate categories? To
me it's just one big all-around everyday rage.
I don't have time for fine distinctions; I'm
busy screaming at people.
I think a good travel book would be Doorway
to Norway.
Instead of warning pregnant women not to
drink, I think they should warn female
alcoholics not to fuck.
Margaret Cho
I could never sell douch, because I just
don't look fresh.
I loved Charlie's Angels. But it should have
been called And Then There's the Ho.
Let me explain. When 3 girls are friends,
one's the sweet one, one's the smart one...
and then there's the ho! Take stock... which
are you?

What does a snail say when he rides on the

It seems like all the music is... [sings] And

If you ever see me getting beaten by the
police, put down the video camera and come
help me instead.
Dana Gould
When somebody says 'gee, you're really
easy to talk to,' what they mean is
'I'm a whirlwind of dysfunction, come, be
my emotional packmule'.
I lump all of my ex-girlfriends into one big
one I call Mandy. My, Another Neurotic
Disappointment? Yes!
Here's Ann now. In a couple of months, if all
goes well, she'll be a complete nymphomaniac
who likes Star Trek. That's all I want. "Live
long and prosper. God I'm horny!"
Bill Hicks
I'm so sick of this ain't humanity
neat bullshit. We're a virus with shoes,
people. That's all we are.
Try waking up and enjoying the life you've
chosen.
And yes, I've been offered commercials and
I've turned them down, because I'm not a
salesman. And I don't need money that is spilt
in blood.
You want a better world, ladies and
gentlemen? Legalize pot right now. You want to
end the deficit? Legalize pot right now. I am
so sick of hearing about the goddamned deficit
that I could fucking puke blood.
It's going to take a very special woman -- or
a bunch of average ones!

On going to war over religion: You're
basically killing each other to see who's got
the better imaginary friend.
The Web brings people together because no
matter what kind of a twisted sexual mutant
you happen to be, you've got millions of pals
out there. Type in 'Find people that have
sex with goats that are on fire' and the
computer will say, 'Specify type of
goat.'"

I want the shiny people over here, and the
happy people over there. I represent angry,
gun toting, meat eating fucking people.

Interior Desecrators
If you had a persistent rash, this would be a
good room. If you wanted a decor to blend in
with the exploded capillaries on your
alcoholic schnozz, this would be a good room.
If you wanted a decor that contained so much
red and so many candles that you could just
blame the sudden appearance of Satan on your
furniture - "well, I certainly wasn't planning
to have orgiastic relations with the
cloven-hooved embodiment of evil and fear, but
when he's standing there in the fireplace
shouting YOU HAVE SUMMONED ME, what are you
going to do?" then this is a good room. Note:
this is not a good room.
'Gigantic patterned wallpaper is in a small
area is exciting because it breaks all the
rules.' Well, a flaming pile of pig crap in
the foyer breaks all the rules. Smearing
goat-brains on the walls breaks all the rules.

For 1 million dollars, I'd sleep with Robert
Redford. I don't know how to be gay, but I'd

Capital punishment turns the state into a

into a gay dungeon-master.

I hope Ross Perot runs again in '96. He was
so much fun. Especially in the political
debates. Can you get any more vague? Someone
would ask "Mr. Perot, what do you intend to do
about the economy?" and he would say "It's
time to take the knife out of the kitchen and
stab the dog".
Men are afraid of gays because they're afraid
gays will treat them the way they treat women.
"Hey man! No means no! I'm saying no with my
mouth and my eyes!"
Chris Rock
We [men] always think we can buy sex...
Nothing gets you nothing. Shit, a woman knows
if she's gonna fuck you in the first 5 minutes
of meeting you. Women know right away. They're
shaking hands like, "I'm gonna fuck him. I
hope he don't say nothing too stupid!"
Men lie the most, women tell the biggest
lies. We lie so much it's like a second
language. ... We lie all the time. You know
what a man's lie is like? "I was at Kenny's
house". A woman's lie is like, "It's your
baby".

And I'm thinking, with this girl?
Well, I don't want to know where she lives --
probably in Hell or something.
All I have is my ignorance, anxiety, and
depression.
