If I've learned one thing, it's 'don't tell the truth.' Lies keep you together.
The Russians haven't been to the moon. You know why? Because they're space pussies... You really want to impress us? Bring us back our FLAG!
You know what the problem is with world hunger? We've been sending them food.

What happened? Satan was busy?
I'm attracted to heartbreakers.
