Always one of my favorite sports quotes:

"I have a darn good job, but please don't ask me what I do." -- Stan Musial

“You can get far in North America with laconic grunts. "Huh," "hun," and "hi!" in their various modulations, together with "sure," "guess so," "that so?" and "nuts!" will meet almost any contingency.”

They went in and hit this troop ship. What I saw looked like little sticks, maybe a foot long or something like that, or splinters flying up off the deck of ship; they’d fly all around ... and twist crazily in the air and fall out in the water. Then I realized what I was watching were human beings. I was watching hundreds of those Japanese just blown off the deck by those machine guns. They just splintered around the air like sticks in a whirlwind and they’d fall in the water.

Garrett Middlebrook

Co-pilot of B-25 in strafing attack durring the Battle of the Bismark Sea, from March 2 to 4, 1943. My dad observed it, and told me of the horror of 5,000 Imperial soldiers bombed or machine-gunned to death in an insane run to reinforce Japanese forces on New Guinea. Just like at Coral Sea, he said, the ocean ran red for miles . . .

“I was in Nashville, Tennessee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: 'Hey, whatcha readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest ****in' question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading FOR? Well, goddamnit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well . . . hmmm...I dunno...I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a ****in' waffle waitress.”
