Some of the best stuff I ever ate was cooked on a trash can lid.

You should see how hot you can grill a steak over a charcoal starter chimney.

My dad believes that a truly educated person knows at least Latin, Greek and Hebrew.

I am ok with Latin, I can limp along in Hebrew but all I remember of Greek are the phrases he DIDN'T teach me.

Funny what sticks.

I took college French and had to drop it.

To me, learning another language is geometry, which I did poorly at, and not algebra, which I excelled at.

Algebra gives you the tools to figure abstract things out.

Geometry means memorizing a lot of things unrelated to each other. I’m bad at that.

New language acquisition provided me no pegs to hang things on, no tools to figure them out.

I lived three years in Denmark, speak fluent Danish and enjoy immensely using the language as often as possible. It's really a thrill to be able to hear their accent when speaking English and suddenly I break into: Nej Du, det siger du ikke!(You don't say)

Also listen to Jazz from Copenhagen every day to keep my ear in the language as they have news on the hour every hour.

We need a breakdown of dialects.
I can’t understand half the people from Boston.

My favorite is teh instruction manual for my toaster:

“Anyone who has not read this instruction manual is not qualified to operate this appliance.”

Geez, now I need a doctorate in Toastology?

I took French and two years of Latin. I refuse to learn Spanish until people come here and stop demanding that I speak their language.

No hablo Espanol!
