    Are you really going to infect every thread with our particular version of dementia. Maybe you just dont get it/are to far gone but those pesky little tittles of these threads give a bit of a hint as to what the subject is about. In this case its "quotes".

    For instance

    Rogues are preferable to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
    - Alexandre Dumas

    or

    We have no desire to make anybody look like a blithering idiot, but we do love it when they do.
    - Stephen Colbert

    so I think we would all appreciate it if you might at least attempt to stick to the subject

    love

    Some W.C. Fields quotes:

    "Whilst traveling through the Andes Mountains, we lost our corkscrew. Had to live on food and water for several days."

    "I was in love with a beautiful blonde once, dear. She drove me to drink. That's the one thing I'm so indebted to her for."

    "I'd rather have two girls at twenty-one each, than one girl at forty-two."

    "Some weasel took the cork out of my lunch..."

    And finally, his suggestion for his headstone:

    "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."
