Plumb, Plumber, Plumbest
Observations from Austin’s singing Jewish plumber:
I ran into the emergency room and hollered to anyone who would listen, “My wife is having contractions in the car.!” The crew rushed a gurney out the automatic door to the car. As they opened the door the contractions were all too apparent: “Can’t. They’re. Wasn’t. Don’t. Ne’er. O’er….”

Quotopia
Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:
Bill Clinton, the Mutable Man par excellence, evolved four times a day; he had a tactical and even recreational attitude toward personal change. But W. prides himself on his changelessness and regards his immutability as the surest sign of his virtue. Facing a map on fire, he sees any inkling of change as the slippery slope to failure. That’s what’s so frustrating about watching him deal — or not deal — with Iraq and Lebanon. There’s almost nothing to watch. It’s not even like watching paint dry, since that, too, is a passage from one state to another. It’s like watching dry paint.
Maureen Dowd
