"I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut... I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend, Don't even act like I didn't buy a doughnut, I've got the documentation right here... It's in my file at home. ...Under "D". "

George Carlin on Martha Stewart's recent incarceration:

"Boy, I feel a lot safer now that she's behind bars. O.J. Simpson and
Kobe Bryant are still walking around; Osama Bin Laden too, but they take
the one woman in America willing to cook, clean, and work in the yard,
and haul her ass off to jail."

@panzade,
Rodney also said that the neighborhood he grew up in was so bad that "they tore it down to build a slum." I believe that's been resurected as well.

From Woody Allen:

Another good thing about being poor is that when you are seventy your children will not have you declared legally insane in order to gain control of your estate.



As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree"" probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.



At the opera in Milan with my daughter and me, Needleman leaned out of his box and fell into the orchestra pit. Too proud to admit it was a mistake, he attended the opera every night for a month and repeated it each time.



Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in my bath and she'd come in and sink my boats.



By love, of course, I refer to romantic love"the love between man and woman, rather that between mother and child, or a boy and his dog, or two headwaiters.



And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil. The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.



And in all of Babylonia there was wailing and gnashing of teeth, 'til the prophets bade the multitudes get a grip on themselves and shape up.



Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.
