"Last night at happy hour, we were going around the table, asking people what fun meant to them. Remember how that guy next to you said, 'When a party is getting really out of control--when women start taking off their tops and dancing.' And then remember how the girl next to him just said, 'Cats.' That was the best."

"My wife and I have been married for sixty-two years. And I've been doing some reading on marriage. You know, they say the more time that goes by, the more a husband and wife become one. They become each other. A husband and wife learn the best from each other, and they learn to discard the faults. In other words, they grow together and become spiritually entwined. In mythology, some stories talk about how a husband and wife become one entity, just like how a lot of religions talk about how our souls become one with God when we die. That's why gay marriage is foolish. You can't get a whole out of one part."
