"I'm not afraid of insects taking over the world, and you know why? It would take about a billion ants just to AIM a gun at me, let alone fire it. And you know what I'm doing while they're aiming it at me? I just sort of slip off to the side, and then suddenly run up and kick the gun out of their hands."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"The great object is, that every man be armed. [...] Every one who is able may have a gun."	Patrick Henry

He's carrying a soldering iron!' and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, 'That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice.' Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]

Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]

Thomas Jefferson

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
