Money, horse racing and women: three things the boys just can't figure out.
Will Rogers
An onion can make people cry but there's never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.
Will Rogers
Everytime a lawyer writes something, he is not writing for posterity, he is writing something so that endless others of his craft can make a living out of trying to figure out what he said. Course perhaps he really haden't said anything, that's what makes it so hard to explain.
