Common sense tells us the earth is flat, the universe rotates around it, and everyone loves us.

Take my lariat — I can’t carry it.

If you all talk at once, you won’t have to listen.

We may have to accept that it’s no longer possible to monetize intellectual property.  Artists are expected to hold down jobs sitting at a computer, to earn the money for the expensive digital gizmos they need to give away their work on the internet.

I once heard an English teacher denounce, dogmatically, musicians who can read music.

Where there’s smoke, there’s coughing.

A theremin marathon.

American voters expect and respect deception from their politicians; candor is unprofessional.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; cry, and the world laughs at you.

The story of George Washington and the cherry tree was a hoax; this proves that Washington didn’t exist.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, what’s that smell?
