Had never heard of all this folderol.  Quite amusing in hindsight.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

QuoteMarie-Joseph-Paul-Yves Roch-Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette, the Marquis de La Fayette

With a name like that in Paris he must have been worse than Star picking up chicks in South Beach.

I submit he departed gay Paris due to having used up all the local supply of womenz.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Nice read, thanks. I never realized Lafayette was that young during the American Revolution...and I was actually taught US history in school growing up. :-[
