I saw...a kid on a leash. You seen these people? Kid on a leash? How horrible. Put him in the pound where he belongs.
I was in a cab in New York. The cab had a sign, "Please do not smoke, Christ is our unseen guest." This guy was reaching. I figure, if he could overcome being nailed to a cross, I don't think a Marlboro Light's gonna faze him that much.
You're not a human till you're in my phone book. There. My hat is now in the political ring.
I...am an evolved being who deals solely with the source of light...in all of us in our own minds. No middleman required.
I'm totally confused about what I'm going to do with my life.

It's a very interesting defense mechanism and the only way to get by it -- and believe me, I was raised Southern Baptist -- is to take massive amounts of mushrooms, sit in a field, and just go, "Show me.".
I saw a sign on the side of the road in Tennessee once that said 'dirt for sale'... what a great country we live in. DIRT for sale. How would you like to get inside that guys mind and look around for a hour? That guy sees opportunity at every glance, doesn't he?
Dinosaur fossils were placed in rocks by prankster God just to make human beings think the world is older than it is.
I've said all that I've had to say.
A lotta Christians wear crosses 'round their necks; do you think if Jesus comes back he ever wants to see another cross?
....All drugs should be legal. War is wrong. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. Thank you. I'll be here all week.
Is it impossible to imagine Americans sneaking into Mexico en masse, seeking regular employment and a better way of life?
