I was knocked out by a skateboarder when I was 11.

Some people attach snowboards to their feet, very few attach them to their souls.

They're (California Angels) like the American League All-Star team, and that's their problem, the American League All-Star team always loses.

Hillary Clinton is campaigning in Iowa, virtually going door to door to every home in Iowa. Jehovah's Witnesses finally got fed up and said, 'Get lost. Get out of here!'

It's the people who are in the wrong who get angry.
