It was very very proverb

 It was very very English. It was like a sort licensed national dirty joke.

 Whatever is funny is subversive, every joke is ultimately a custard pie... a dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
  George Orwell

 There is a clear need to have qualified people acting as agents because it is a guarantee that the person is fit and proper and has a good background with an extensive knowledge of all the matters involved. It is a sort of jungle at the moment where there are licensed agents operating alongside unlicensed agents, and in some cases licensed agents delegating to people who are not as qualified as they are.

 The sort of people you meet in a Japanese company will be the best English speakers with a couple of degrees and possibly a greater knowledge of the English language than yourself.

 I guess it's sort of this naive character that I play. I also do a velociraptor, a dinosaur from the Jurassic period. I like writing a good joke. I like being able to use my physical-ness, like facial expressions and stuff to really take home a joke and get it across - especially like in Tiffin.

 Given that English as a second language classes are pretty hard to come by unless you've got money, it's sort of inevitable that children of recent immigrants who don't speak English are a huge fount of information about American culture.

 It was definitely an institution, a tradition. You never knew where the conversation was going to go. It could be politics, or it could be a dirty joke.

 The English had hit upon a splendid joke. They intended to catch me or to bring me down.

 He's just an all around dirty fighter. I can't stress that enough, he's just dirty. He's always been dirty, he's known for this. He's no boxer and I don't think that he'll be remembered as a great boxer, just a dirty, dirty fighter. He don't win the right way, he cheats to win and I don't consider that winning a boxing match, (much less) an undisputed middleweight title (match).

 I don't really know what is shocking. When you tell the story of a man who is beheaded, you have to show how they cut off his head. If you don't, it's like telling a dirty joke and leaving out the punch line.
  Roman Polanski

 He's a true entrepreneur. He had this tremendous energy, juggling many balls at once. He did all this and was a great, normal guy you could have a hamburger with and tell a dirty joke to. And that was an amazing thing.

 He's an English teacher. He thought it was pretty funny. We kind of laughed at him, not at the joke. He's always trying to loosen us up, and it helped us.

 Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.
  Gloria Steinem
