Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies...
‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’
It's like a Koala bear crapped a rainbow on my brain.
Karl Marx, so I can ask him about what it's like to be so full of hope and revolutionary ideas.
George Bush, so I can ask how he can sleep at night.
And Zapp Branigan...

I would no more teach children military training than teach them arson, robbery, or assassination.
