Quotable Quotes:

"I hope the fries are included in that combo because I'm just too hungry to ask."

"The root of suffering is going to church as a child. Before you are able to tie your own shoes, your Sunday school teacher is on you about being a sinner and that you will die alone and burn forever. That's a special thought for a toddler who just wants to pick his nose and play cars."
