A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.

Here's to our wives and girlfriends: May they never meet!

I have nothing but confidence in you, and very little of that.

I sent the club a wire stating, "Please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member."

Now there's a man with an open mind - you can feel the breeze from here!

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.
- Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx, 1890 - 1977

Gentlemen, Chicolini here may talk like an idiot and look like an idiot, but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot. I implore you, send him back to his father and brothers who are waiting for him with open arms in the penitentiary. I suggest that we give him ten years in Leavenworth or eleven years in Twelveworth.

Funny thing, I can see situations where counting lines might make sense. It's a metric.

But then, I remember projects where I had to *make something work* and after project completion, there was less code than when I started, but the product worked well and fast.

I guess I should'a been fired for that using the count lines of code metric.
