George Bernard Shaw
Ignorance is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.

"We're gonna need a gravy boat."
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

This isn't original. It's from a contest from the back of, I believe, New York magazine. I got it from a book called Maybe He's Dead.
