"I have made good judgements in the Past. I have made good judgements in the Future."

"People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history."

"Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child."

"The future will be better tomorrow."

"Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts."

"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."

"When I have been asked during these last weeks who caused the riots and the killing in L.A., my answer has been direct and simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame."

My natural sciences teacher of high school, who always confuses the words chicken and kitchen, tried once to give us the class in English. During that class, we were dissectiong a dead chicken. During that dissction he said:

"Let's open up the chest of this kitchen."
"This kitchen had long tendons."
(While moving a tendon of the chicken and pretending that the dead chicken was doing us the "fukc you" gesture) "This kitchen was a bad mothafukca!"
"You see? All this blood and guts let us know that this is a real kitchen. This is not the sort of kitchens that you can buy at Kentucky Fried Kitchen."
"Have you ever seen a kitchen flying? I've never seen a kitchen flying."
"Did you see the movie "Kitchen run"? Well, this kitchen, as you can see, wasn't in there."

And many, many other dumb quotations. As far as I'm concerned, this was his last try to give a class in English. Since then, he only gives his classes in Catalan.

PS: BTW, a the end of the class somebody had the balls to tell him what do the words kitchen and chicken mean.

He was serious. He got an ASD(after school detention) for clogging the toilets(you don't want the details), so the coach made us run sprints.
Jack's problem is that he doesn't think about what he says before he says it.

Ergo: I was against the surge before I was for it.

In high school, a history class classmate thought the capital of Indiana was called "Downtown." Also (same girl) was suprised to find that Washington D.C. was near the East Coast. "I thought it was over in the middle somewhere, like in Kansas or something."

Mr. Raymond, who taught chemistry in my Junior year, was in rare form many times. More than once he asked a student, "Did your parents ever have any children that lived?" Another time, when a student complained that her low grade on a test wasn't fair, he replied quickly, "Fair is a word dreamed up by elementary school teachers to keep the little kids from getting hurt on the playground."

Of course, this same chemistry teacher refused to teach the class the formula for black powder because his high school teacher had made the mistake. He and his buddy made some and put it to the test... An old school bus that had been used as a concession stand during football games. His punishment? He and his buddy had to repaint the entire bus garage at their school.

Yes, the vast majority. The United States is the only major country that still uses Fahrenheit. Even the Germans, who invented the Fahrenheit scale, have switched to Celsius. The United Kingdom and it's former colonies are also the only countries that still use the Imperial system - everyone else has switched to Metric.

That's true. This was a old form of internationalisation like doctors speaking latin. Aviation took on the terms from navigation. It it specialised and somewhat shielded from civilian use so it's unlikely to change in too much of a hurry, and news reports and documentaries often convert to metres anyway.

Naturally this prompted; "How exactly do you know so much about men's bathrooms, Sarah?"

"Oh, I give head in them."

Guess whose mother and father were standing behind her?

wow...

You would think a girl old enough to give head in the bathrooms would know what those things are, but the reaction from her parents must have been priceless.

You have no idea how much I laughed at that. Besides, you don't need to be that old to give head in the bathroom.

Her father actually had a mild heart attact right then and there. No joke. The mother's face just dropped. I don't mean her jaw dropped, her face did, like she'd aged about fifteen years in a second. Priceless alright.

Oh, it was worth it. I always hated her, and being part of the most humiliating moment of her life would have been enough to make it good for me, but for it to be that entertaining made it one of the greatest moments of my teenage years. Haven't thought about it in years, but I couldn't see her without laughing for months. May be cruel, but goddamn, it was just so aweome.

Poor Ohio, people always forget it's in the US. I don't exactly remember the conversation, but someone said they were going to Clevland this Summer. One girl was seriously impressed about that (its maybe a 4 hour drive). Turned out she thought it was in some foreign country. First she thought it was in Columbia but changed her mind to Ireland.:mischief:

militia camp - basic training. We had a couple of Ugandans in our troop, (immigrants from the Amin era). One was this articulate, quick-witted and likable dude the Major dubbed 'Mr. President' and the other was his badass brother. He was a short, but tough guy who snarled and challenged everybody. (I was a bit older and had to face him down once) We were in canteen and a solid younger lad, sitting with us, well-meaning enough, said with a look of total seriousness "Are there like still cannibals in Africa ?" As several expressions flashed across badass's face, Mr. President just said "well yeah, I mean you have men that like to eat man's ass !" We both split a gut, and the lad who asked it seemed truly chagrined, (even though its sorta true).

Anyway, I came up with a series of nonsense 1 and 2 syllable nouns to describe a series of Egyptian hieroglyphs, and one of them was . .. .. .. .. My dad flipped, and slapped me.

We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a *part* of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a *part* of Europe.

What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.

The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century.
