"Foreigners cannot enjoy our food, I suppose, any more than we can enjoy theirs. It is not strange; for tastes are made, not born. I might glorify my bill of fare until I was tired; but after all, the Scotchman would shake his head, and say, 'Where's your haggis?' and the Fijan would sigh and say, 'Where's your missionary?'" ~ Mark Twain

[CaptainBloodscalp]

Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

[Mark Twain]

[Capt. Bo of the WTF co.]

He again took the pipe from his mouth. "That's merely appetite," he said.

[Rumba Rue]

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the hell happened

A man's got to do what a man's got to do. A woman must do what he can't

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning

They were all fine sailing days, but unfortunately they were only ideal for sailing in the wrong direction

Another smooth escape designed as a dramatic exit

And from the Horatio Hornblower show on A & E,

Tis better to earn loyalty then to demand it
