A clip I just saw from Who wants to be a Millionaire ? the american version goes a bit like this (paraphrased and abridged to just contain joke): Host: Heres the million dollor question: [He tells question]Contestent: [Reads question and laughs] I want to call me parents. Ill use my life line and call my dad. his name is Tom. Host: OK. Ill call your dad. [Phone sound to signify call connecting] Hello Tom your son is on Who wants to be a millionaire ? and he has half a million and he needs your help to get to a million. The next voice you will hear is your son. Contestent: Hi dad. i dont realy need your help I just called you up to tell you Im going to win the million as I know the answer to the question. [Call ends]Host: [Laughing] Well If thats your final answer? Yes? Well i can tell you that you have won one million dollors! I thought at first the contestent was going to be wrong and I was going to feel sorry for his as he thought he knewa nd he was so cocky. HERE is the clip. its worth a gander.

I am taking this opotunity to use the 'Quick Reply' option of this forum and for some reason I feel it a novelty to be typing amunst the posts.
Anywho Ill have to say something to not be deemed 'off-topic'.
Aha! Heres one from the net:
Spongebob working the night shift:
Psst, squidward, I'm working in the kitchen... at night! Hey squidward, guess what? I'm chopping lettuce... at night. OW!!! I burned my hand... at night
That didnt really meet the description of a 'quick reply' but oh well!

At least though, I can admit I'm obsessed. Obsessions are good for the soul.

No, there merely happens to be a conversation taking place here, and I'm quoting things to stay on-topic.
Douglas Adams:
"Life, is like a grapefruit: It's orangey-yellow and dimpled on the outside, wet and squidgy in the middle. It's got pips inside, too. Oh, and some people have half a one for breakfast. "

Instead of being a virgin he's allergic to bees? Hmm...

From Stephen Fry's autobiography:
"It was in the playground of Chesam Prep that I tripped and fell on my face one morning and broke my nose. At the time my nose was a cute little button — if any part of me has ever been cute — and the accident, although bloody and loud, was unremarkable in the life of a small child. Over the years however, my nose grew and grew and it became apparent by the time I was fourteen that, like its owner, it was not growing straight."
David Bowie:
"I consider myself responsible for a whole new school of pretensions. They know who they are. Don't you, Elton? Just kidding. No, I'm not."

Here's one I like:
"Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans." - John Lennon.
It's from his song Beautiful Boy which he wrote for his son, Sean, which was on his last album, Double Fantasy, which was released only about a month before he was killed. It's a really good song.
Poor Sean...he was only 5 when his Dad was killed. And John's oldest son Julian was only 17. That was a horrible thing to happen. John Lennon shouldn'r be dead.

Gideon, is your computer censoring words? You seem unable to say "dead". Or "adult".
Anyway. From something by Oscar Wilde:
"It is very much more difficult to talk about a thing than to do it. In the sphere of actual life that is of course obvious. Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it. There is no mode of action, no form of emotion, that we do not share with the lower animals. It is only by language that we rise above them, or above each other — by language, which is the parent, not the child, of thought."
