They were good. They proverb

 They were good. They were funny. But I asked if I could have one and they told me, no.

 We talked for two to five minutes. He asked me where I was coming from. I told him 'I'm lost right now.' He and me talked about my Navy career. He told me he was in the Navy. He showed me his card and asked where I was from. He asked what I was doing in the area. He was a good man. He was a God-fearing person. He didn't deserve to die.

 Mark Twain told jokes, but they somehow stayed funny for a hundred years; they're still funny today. When Mark Twain said, 'He was a good man in the worst sense of the word,' we know exactly what he's talking about. When he said 'Wagner's music is not as bad as it sounds,' it still is funny. Mark Twain was really a miracle.

 Every day they asked us about practice, flights, hotels, off-the-court stuff, everything. I said, 'Everybody on the team is cool, everybody's down to earth. Shaq, I told them he was funny. Everybody already heard that. I told them practice was hard, the flights were cool, hotels were top-of-the-line.

 He pointed at me and said, 'that one won't stand up.' The two policemen came near me and only one spoke to me. He asked me if the driver had asked me to stand up? I said, 'yes.' He asked me why I didn't stand up, ... I told him I didn't think I should have to stand up. So I asked him: 'Why do you push us around?' And he told me, 'I don't know, but the law is the law and you are under arrest.'

 Out started six officers, seized my bridle, put their pistols to my breast, ordered me to dismount, which I did. One of them, who appeared to have the command there, and much of a gentleman, asked me where I came from; I told him. He asked what time I left . I told him, he seemed surprised, said ''Sir, may I crave your name?'' I answered ''My name is Revere.

 She asked me - and she very well knew the answer - if she had to come to the meeting. She said, 'But it's ridiculous.' She was mocking about, asking the questions that are going to be asked, nothing we haven't talked about before. She was making a big theater. It was pretty funny.

 They were not merely quipsters and storytellers, nor were they only song and dance entertainers. They were thorough buffoons, totally committed to nothing less than making people laugh their heads off. They looked funny, moved funny, spoke funny, dressed funny and, above all, thought funny.

 It was almost funny-I was working with a Mazda team and came to meet Mark (Patterson) in March, and he asked me, 'Would you mind doing a couple of Rolex races with me? 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease. ' 'No, of course I wouldn't mind!' I told him, and I knew exactly what team we should work with.

 [Wickman] has never told me -- and I think he has the kind of relationship with me that he could -- he's never told me or complained to me or said anything to me which indicated he was leaving for any other reason except that he wanted to retire. I extended him beyond the mandatory retirement age of 57 so he could stay, ... Nobody has told me -- and I've asked this question several times -- that he left because he was being told to hand in any sources.

 He just told them, 'Stay all night, that way you'll have a good spot,' cause he was trying to get them to come to the game. He's funny. We did not know that was coming because you never know with Coach.

 It was kind of funny to me. When you come to an opposing team's ballpark and something happens that may have not gone their way, they'll let you know about it. He thought it was kind of funny. He said he's known now. I told him he could probably go to Hollywood now and become a movie star.

 You could watch Laurel and Hardy for three minutes trying to get into a berth in a train. And that's what made Lucille Ball so popular. She's always doing funny rather than saying funny. The shows today say funny, but I don't see anybody doing funny.

 I asked him if I could speak to them. He told me -- he told me no, he pushed me away and told me to go to class, and he had a smile on his face and he was laughing, and that really made me mad.

 He asked me about it. Hermanson told me, 'Whatever is best for the team, I'm willing to do it.' He told me that. I didn't tell him that. I told him, 'Just be prepared.' I might change my mind.
