Being an American (like me), you ought to know that the quote you posted was originally used by NASCAR legend Junior Johnson back in the late '60s or early '70s, describing the difference between those who were committed to racing and those who were involved in racing. He was basically belittling the sponsors, owners, etc. who never strapped themselves into a car and hurtled around the track at Daytona at 200+ miles per hour.

Sounds to me that if J.R. Ewing weren't lifting quotes from someone else, he would be about as good a wordsmith as Patrick Ewing.

I'm sorry, but I must commit hari-kari now.

Deep breath. Have insiders saying that retribution for Fallujah and Al'Sadr is maybe tomorrow. I'll waste what little brain cells I reserve for that. Nite-nite time.

You enjoy yourself, and I expect you to report responsibly what you hear.
