| Pet Peeves |
Telephone customer service recordings that say you have to wait because
of "an especially large volume of calls" (how about an especially low
amount of staff?) People who answer their own rhetorical questions. |
| Favourite Sayings | "Lead
me, follow me, or get out of my way." (George Patton) "When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." (Mark Twain) “Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.” (anonymous) "Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children." (George Bernard Shaw) "Spontaneity is fine as long as it happens in a predetermined time and place." (my own) "Sex without love is an empty experience but as far as empty experiences go, it's one of the best." (Woody Allen) "It's reassuringly expensive" (quote from Road and Track review of Rolls Royce Corniche) "Never speak disrespectfully of Society, Algernon. Only people who can’t get into it do that." (Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest) "It's after six. What am I? A farmer?" (Alec Baldwin's response to Tina Fey's inquiry as to why he was wearing a tuxedo for no apparent reason in 30 Rock.) |
And because so many people ask, no I am not related to Peter Marshall the popular US Congress Chaplain of the 1950s, nor to Peter Marshall the original host of Hollywood Squares.
