>
>
>How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
>
>You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
>
>People, not computers, invented English, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
>
>AND why doesn't "buick" rhyme with "quick"?
