Americans always try to do the right thing -- 
after they've tried everything else.

"I've been working under operation code named duck and cover for so long now
 I can neither confirm nor deny whether I can recall if I'm allowed to
 confirm nor deny my own existance. Now does that make any sense to you?"

The world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed. 

    -- Sean O'Casey

Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to 
calm myself down. I'll go over to the person's house and ring the 
doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what 
I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side 
of its head with a note that says "You." After that, I usually 
feel a lot better, and no harm done
