You know they've got your number when they start calling you by your first
name.

Nor do they want to go there.

I always thought people bought cars to drive them. Jags spend more time in
the repair shop than they do on the road.

Better them than the real thing.

I thought it ironic that he was the one who was reluctant to leave home to
go to college, and the guy who kept trying to talk him into it stayed home
and became an insurance salesman. Meanwhile, Dryfuss' character became a
writer living in Canada.

I've seen those.

 RW>> Just make sure you wear a ten gallon hat while driving that truck.

Is it a ten gallon hat?

Probably because they like to attack you at dusk...

Well, I always had a problem with that.

But never a problem with this.

Joy lives in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in
the victory itself.
