Nicotine patches are great. Stick one over each eye and you can't find your fags.
A Christian will say... "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks liked He rushed it.
You ever notice that everyone who believes in creationism looks really un-evolved?
Billy Ray Cyrus does not smoke. Michael Bolton doesn't...Paula Abdul doesn't...there does seem to be a pattern.
Been on what I call my Flying Saucer Tour--appearing in small Southern towns--in front of handfuls of hillbillies.
Are gun rights advocates arguing that roving gangs...shooting innocent bystanders constitutes a 'well-regulated militia'?
We'll see who believes in me now. I am the Prankster God – I am killing me!
I love talking about the Kennedy assasination. The reason I do is because I'm fascinated by it. I'm fascinated that our government could lie to us so blatantly, so obviously for so long, and we do absolutely nothing about it. I think that's interesting in what is ostensibly a democracy. Sarcasm - come on in. People say Bill, quit talking about Kennedy man. It was a long time ago, just let it go, alright? It's a long time ago, just forget it. I'm like, alright, then don't bring up Jesus to me. As long as we're talking shelf life here...
I've learned a lot about women. I think I've learned exactly how the fall of man occured in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, and Adam said one day, Wow, Eve, here we are, at one with nature, at one with God, we'll never age, we'll never die, and all our dreams come true the instant that we have them. And Eve said, Yeah... it's just not enough is it?
I do not believe making money in order to consume goods is mankind's sole purpose on this planet.
Just one thing I know for sure, chicks dig jerks.
What's gonna happen to the arms industry when we realize we're all One?...You can see why the government's cracking down.
What do you say we lighten things up and talk about abortion?...
Well we looked at all the people in the Bible and we added 'em up all the way back to Adam and Eve, their ages: 12,000 years.
