Quotes

• “The problem is, when Oprah lost all that weight, her head didn't get any smaller. And so she looks kind of like a person carrying a balloon.”
• “The transportation bill had over $5 billion worth of special local projects and favors attached to it, lamprey-like, by various congresspersons. But this is good, because these projects will CREATE JOBS. See, when the GOVERNMENT spends money, it creates jobs; whereas when the money is left in the hands of TAXPAYERS, God only knows what they do with it. Bake it into pies, probably. Anything to avoid creating jobs.”
• “I think Superman should go on the Larry King show and announce that he would come back to life if people in all 50 states wanted him to.”
• “As a child, I was more afraid of tetanus shots than, for example, Dracula.”
• “It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb cholesterol if you take it from another person's plate.”
• “What, exactly, is the Internet? Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a "modem" can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo.”
