| Manners are love in a cool climate. |
| Men get laid, but women get screwed. |
| My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it. |

| Of course I lie to people. But I lie altruistically - for our mutual good. The lie is the basic building block of good manners. That may seem mildly shocking to a moralist - but then what isn't? |
| Sex is the last refuge of the miserable |
