It's the same sex all the time.
If you can remember the sixties, you weren't there.
Friends come in all sizes, take it from me! Golly gee, size doesn't matter, when you want some friendly patter from a pal who is true.
The truth is, if anything, I'm probably addicted to laughter.
I don't do well with snakes and I can't dance.
The things we fear the most have already happened to us.
Oh, no. To live... to live would be an awfully big adventure.
The first time I ate organic whole-grain bread I swear it tasted like roofing material.
