That's almost like the time my chickens wanted to watch the city workers laying sidewalk along the road.

Curiosity is hard on more than cats. As entertaining as TV give your chickens left over spaghetti

As a city worker, I like to watch chickens laying leftover spaghetti along the road.

Um, somehow this doesn't sound like Alexandre Dumas who lived 1802 to 1870 and wrote historical novels. Yes, there were pizza cutters back then, but this is just so dumb.

This guy is so dull I am beginning to suspect he owns this site and throws in his own quotes.

Ick! I think I'd prefer to see Jack Handey quotes his.

I like this quote. I think Brault understands that living life only for yourself can lead to emptiness, loneliness and bitterness. Having someone else to be with and live for is wonderful.

Unattributed, not only did we have a meeting where we all agreed to hate Brault, but your name also came up....

Great come back by Eureka. I laughed out loud and it's 3 o'clock in the morning. Still chuckling.

Punctuated equilibrium is when LLapp is satisfied with the quote's placement of commas and semicolons.
