Morning all, let me first answer for-q-clinton's question:

"Bread and Circuses is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader--the barbarians enter Rome."

"When one wonders who say what, you will find Bob Heinlein probably said it once or twice in his long, productive life!" -- Bender2 9-15-07

Now, ya'll all doing okay?

Fine...

Here, I've got one:

"A pair of new socks is only new the first time you wear them.
After the first laundering, they fail to remain new."
