21391 tiresome.
21394 I do not take drugs -- I am drugs.
21397 I don't believe in astrology. But then I'm an
21398 Aquarius, and Aquarians don't believe in astrology.
21402 run their own business. I know men that would make my wife a better
21403 husband than I am; but, darn it, I'm not going to give her to 'em.

21416 I don't do it for the money.
21419 I don't drink, I don't like it, it makes me feel too good.
21420 -- K. Coates
21422 I don't even butter my bread. I consider that cooking.
21425 I don't get no respect.
21427 I don't have an eating problem. I eat.
21428 I get fat. I buy new clothes. No problem.
21430 I don't have any solution but I certainly admire the problem.
21434 hundreds of people waiting to abuse me.
21437 I don't kill flies, but I like to mess with their minds. I hold them above
21438 globes. They freak out and yell "Whooa, I'm *way* too high."
21441 I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.
21445 But booze can do what Kant cannot.
21449 more concerned to know what his grandson will be.
21452 I don't know why anyone would want a computer in their home.
21455 I don't know why we're here, I say we all go home and free associate.
21458 because if I liked it I'd eat it, and I'd just hate it.
21461 I don't like the Dutchman. He's a crocodile. He's sneaky.
21462 I don't trust him.
21464 with Dutch Schultz.
21466 I don't trust Legs. He's nuts. He gets excited and starts pulling a
21467 trigger like another guy wipes his nose.
21469 "Legs" Diamond.
21471 I don't make the rules, Gil, I only play the game.

21482 I don't need no arms around me...
21483 I don't need no drugs to calm me...
21484 I have seen the writing on the wall.
21485 Don't think I need anything at all.
21487 All in all, it was all just bricks in the wall.
21488 All in all, it was all just bricks in the wall.
21491 I don't remember it, but I have it written down.

21509 "How curious," said the lemming. "The one thing I don't understand is why
21510 you human beings don't."
21513 I don't understand you anymore.
21516 But there will definitely be a party tonight...
21519 I just wanna ride on my motorcycle.
21521 I just want to ride on my motorcycle.
21524 I don't want people to love me. It makes for obligations.
21527 I don't want to achieve immortality through my work.
21528 I want to achieve immortality through not dying.
21531 I don't want to bore you, but there's nobody else around for me to bore.
21533 I don't want to live on in my work, I want to live on in my apartment.
21538 I dote on his very absence.
21541 I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on
21543 succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a
21544 goal in front and not behind.
21547 I drink to make other people interesting.
21550 I either want less decadence or more chance to participate in it.
21552 I enjoy the time that we spend together.
21554 I exist, therefore I am paid.
21556 I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.
21558 I feel sorry for your brain... all alone in that great big head...
21562 so I woke up from sheer boredom.
21565 honest difference of opinion.
21568 I finally went to the eye doctor. I got contacts.
21569 I only need them to read, so I got flip-ups.
21572 I find this corpse guilty of carrying a concealed weapon and I fine it $40.
21574 just shot.
21576 I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.
21582 I gave my love an upgrade, with no cryin'.
21594 I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.
21597 I get my exercise acting as pallbearer to my friends who exercise.
21600 I get up each morning, gather my wits.
21601 Pick up the paper, read the obits.
21602 If I'm not there I know I'm not dead.
21603 So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.
21606 My get-up-and-go has got-up-and-went.
21608 And think of the places my get-up has been.
21614 I go on working for the same reason a hen goes on laying eggs.
21615 -- H.L. Mencken
21617 "I got into an elevator at work and this man followed in after me... I
21618 pushed '1' and he just stood there... I said 'Hi, where you going?' He
21619 said, 'Phoenix.' So I pushed Phoenix. A few seconds later the doors
21620 opened, two tumbleweeds blew in... we were in downtown Phoenix. I looked
21622 with.' We got into his car and drove out to his shack in the desert.
21623 Then the phone rang. He said 'You get it.' I picked it up and said
21624 'Hello?'... the other side said 'Is this Steven Wright?'... I said 'Yes...'
21625 The guy said 'Hi, I'm Mr. Jones, the student loan director from your bank...
21627 attended said that they received none of the $17,000 we loaned you... we
21628 would just like to know what happened to the money?' I said, 'Mr. Jones,
21629 I'll give it to you straight. I gave all of the money to my friend Slick,
21630 and with it he built a nuclear weapon... and I would appreciate it you never
21631 called me again."
21634 I got my driver's license photo taken out of focus on purpose. Now
21636 farther, trying to see it clearly)... and says, "Here, you can go."
21639 I got the bill for my surgery. Now I know what those doctors were
21640 wearing masks for.
21643 I got this powdered water -- now I don't know what to add.
21647 theater. So I bought the album. I got kicked out of a theater the
21648 other day for bringing my own food in. I argued that the concession
21649 stand prices were outrageous. Besides, I hadn't had a barbecue in a
21650 long time. I went to the theater and the sign said adults $5 children
21651 $2.50. I told them I wanted 2 boys and a girl. I once took a cab to
21652 a drive-in movie. The movie cost me $95.
21655 I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
21659 and lit the evil puppet villain on fire.
21661 No, I didn't. Just kidding. I just said that to illustrate one of the
21662 human emotions which is freaking out. Another emotion is greed, as when
21663 you kill someone for money or something like that. Another emotion is
21665 puppet.
21666 -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.
21668 I GUESS I'LL NEVER FORGET HER. And maybe I don't want to. Her spirit
21669 was wild, like a wild monkey. Her beauty was like a beautiful horse
21670 being ridden by a wild monkey. I forget her other qualities.
21671 -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.

21679 other people... Certainty is just an emotion.
21682 I GUESS OF ALL MY UNCLES, I liked Uncle Caveman the best. We called him
21684 one of us. Later, we found out he was a bear.
21685 -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.
21687 I guess the Little League is even littler than we thought.
21688 -- D. Cavett
21690 I GUESS WE WERE ALL GUILTY, in a way. We shot him, we skinned him, and
21691 we all got a complimentary bumper sticker that said, "I helped skin Bob."
21692 -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.
21694 I had a dream last night...
21695 I dreamt about 1976.
21696 I dreamt about a country with incurable brain damage...
21697 I even dreamt they gave it a heart transplant.
21698 Then I woke up and I knew it was only a nightmare...
21699 so I went back to sleep again.
21702 I had a feeling once about mathematics -- that I saw it all. Depth beyond
21703 depth was revealed to me -- the Byss and the Abyss. I saw -- as one might
21705 through infinity and changing its sign from plus to minus. I saw exactly
21707 dinner and I let it go.
21710 I had a virgin once. I had to go to Guatemala for her. She was blind

21717 had stepped out of a painting by Goya.
21719 I had another dream the other day about music critics. They were small
21721 painting by Goya.
21726 put a black person through in this country. To realize you don't have any
21727 power to make things different is a bitch.

21731 so I took his shoes.

21743 I hate dying.
21747 it's going to be up all night.
21751 and I know how bad I am.
21754 I hate quotations.
21758 there's nothing else to do.
21761 I hate trolls. Maybe I could metamorph it into something else -- like a
21762 ravenous, two-headed, fire-breathing dragon.
21765 I have a box of telephone rings under my bed. Whenever I get lonely, I
21766 open it up a little bit, and I get a phone call. One day I dropped the
21767 box all over the floor. The phone wouldn't stop ringing. I had to get
21768 it disconnected. So I got a new phone. I didn't have much money, so I
21769 had to get an irregular. It doesn't have a five. I ran into a friend
21770 of mine on the street the other day. He said why don't you give me a
21771 call. I told him I can't call everybody I want to anymore, my phone
21772 doesn't have a five. He asked how long had it been that way. I said I
21773 didn't know -- my calendar doesn't have any sevens.
21774 -- S. Wright
21776 I have a dog; I named him Stay. So when I'd go to call him, I'd say, "Here,
21777 Stay, here..." but he got wise to that. Now when I call him he ignores me
21778 and just keeps on typing.
21781 I have a dream. I have a dream that one day, on the red hills of Georgia,
21783 sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
21784 -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
21786 I have a friend whose a billionaire. He invented Cliff's notes. When

21791 I have a hard time being attracted to anyone who can beat me up.
21792 -- John McGrath, Atlanta sportswriter, on women weightlifters.
21794 I have a hobby. I have the world's largest collection of sea shells.
21795 I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen
21796 some of it.
21800 And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.

21807 And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.
21808 -- R.L. Stevenson
21810 I have a map of the United States. It's actual size.
21811 I spent last summer folding it.

21825 I have a switch in my apartment that doesn't do anything. Every once
21826 in a while I turn it on and off. On and off. On and off. One day I

21833 but I can't prove it.
21835 I have a very small mind and must live with it.

21894 wife's brother.
21897 I have great faith in fools -- self confidence my friends call it.
21900 I have had my television aerials removed. It's the moral equivalent
21901 of a prostate operation.
21904 I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning.
21907 I have just had eighteen whiskeys in a row.
21908 I do believe that is a record.

21931 I have more hit points that you can possible imagine.

21940 I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
21943 I have never seen anything fill up a vacuum so fast and still suck.
21944 -- Rob Pike, on X.
21947 gone in two years. He was half right.
21950 Dennis Ritchie is twice as bright as Steve Jobs, and only half wrong.

22042 you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.

22217 I like work; it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours.
22219 I like young girls. Their stories are shorter.
22222 I like your game but we have to change the rules.
22224 I live the way I type; fast, with a lot of mistakes.
22226 I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't got the guts
22227 to bite people themselves.
22230 I look at life as being cruise director on the Titanic.
22231 I may not get there, but I'm going first class.
22234 I love being married. It's so great to find that one special
22235 person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
22238 I love children. Especially when they cry -- for then
22239 someone takes them away.
22242 I love dogs, but I hate Chihuahuas. A Chihuahua isn't a dog.
22243 It's a rat with a thyroid problem.
22245 I love mankind ... It's people I hate.
22248 I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I've ever known.
22251 I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
22254 I love treason but hate a traitor.
22257 I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.
22261 but for what I am when I am with you.
22264 I loved her with a love thirsty and desperate. I felt that we two might

22269 I married beneath me. All women do.
22274 I may kid around about drugs, but really, I take them seriously.
22277 I may not be totally perfect, but parts of me are excellent.
22280 I met a wonderful new man. He's fictional, but you can't have everything.

22306 -- around the sun. If we have the mass of Jupiter to work with, and if
22308 feet for the base.
22310 And it has advantages. The Ringworld will be much sturdier than a Dyson
22311 sphere. We can spin it on its axis for gravity. A rotation speed of 770
22312 m/s will give us a gravity of one Earth normal. We wouldn't even need to
22313 roof it over. Place walls one thousand miles high at each edge, facing the
22314 sun. Very little air will leak over the edges.
22316 Lord knows the thing is roomy enough. With three million times the surface
22318 crowding.
22321 I need another lawyer like I need another hole in my head.
22324 I needed the good will of the legislature of four states. I formed the
22325 legislative bodies with my own money. I found that it was cheaper that
22326 way.
22329 I never cheated an honest man, only rascals. They wanted
22330 something for nothing. I gave them nothing for something.

22346 I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.
22349 I never killed a man that didn't deserve it.
22352 I never loved another person the way I loved myself.
22355 I never made a mistake in my life.
22356 I thought I did once, but I was wrong.
22359 I never met a man I didn't want to fight.
22362 I never met a piece of chocolate I didn't like.
22364 I never pray before meals -- my mom's a good cook.
22367 what I said was all saloonkeepers were Democrats.
22372 I'd rather see than be one.
22384 I'll kill you if you quote it.
22387 I never take work home with me; I always leave it in some bar along the way.

22395 I only know what I read in the papers.
22400 words and an implicit sense of her departure. It's so curious: one can
22401 resist tears and "behave" very well in the hardest hours of grief. But
22402 then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window... or one notices

23159 breaking into a place and stealing stuff, or kidnapping somebody. He really

23207 I went on to test the program in every way I could devise. I strained it to
23208 expose its weaknesses. I ran it for high-mass stars and low-mass stars, for
23209 stars born exceedingly hot and those born relatively cold. I ran it assuming
23212 answer in this particular case. Finally I got a run in which the computer
23213 showed the pulsar's temperature to be less than absolute zero. I had found
23214 an error. I chased down the error and fixed it. Now I had improved the
23215 program to the point where it would not run at all.

24793 gateway. Gateways are required by definition to know their correct network
24794 numbers. Once you've got your network number, you start using it and before
24796 over creation. Now what happens when the panic-stricken operator realizes he
24798 network number? Never supposed to happen. Tough. Supposing that your

28872 Lemma: All horses are the same color.
28875 horses in that set are the same color.
28876 Case n = k: Suppose you have a set of k+1 horses. Pull one of these
28877 horses out of the set, so that you have k horses. Suppose that all
28878 of these horses are the same color. Now put back the horse that you
28879 took out, and pull out a different one. Suppose that all of the k
28880 horses now in the set are the same color. Then the set of k+1 horses
28881 are all the same color. We have k true => k+1 true; therefore all
28882 horses are the same color.

34953 Oxygen is a very toxic gas and an extreme fire hazard. It is fatal in
34954 concentrations of as little as 0.000001 p.p.m. Humans exposed to the
34955 oxygen concentrations die within a few minutes. Symptoms resemble very
34956 much those of cyanide poisoning (blue face, etc.). In higher
34957 concentrations, e.g. 20%, the toxic effect is somewhat delayed and it
34958 takes about 2.5 billion inhalations before death takes place. The reason

36137 We know it's true for n equal to 1. Now assume that it's true
36138 for every natural number less than n. N is arbitrary, so we can take n
36139 as large as we want. If n is sufficiently large, the case of n+1 is
36140 trivially equivalent, so the only important n are n less than n. We can
36141 take n = n (from above), so it's true for n+1 because it's just about n.

45801 No cat has eight tails. A cat has one tail more than no cat.
45802 Therefore, a cat has nine tails.
45804 Theorem: All positive integers are equal.
45805 Proof: Sufficient to show that for any two positive integers, A and B, A = B.
45807 (positive integers) satisfy (MAX(A, B) = N) then A = B.
45810 If N = 1, then A and B, being positive integers, must both be 1.
45811 So A = B.
45813 Assume that the theorem is true for some value k. Take A and B with
45814 MAX(A, B) = k+1. Then MAX((A-1), (B-1)) = k. And hence
45815 (A-1) = (B-1). Consequently, A = B.

46607 the doorway, to see what he was doing. At that exact moment, the husband

46610 course, this time with a friend of his. Once again on the 12th hole, he
46611 sliced his drive to the shack. His friend suggested that he might be able

46756 let go. It means leaving what's over without denying its validity
