1. On the return of football to New Orleans, a little over one year after Hurricane Katrina struck:
“With the ineptness of the mayor, I’m surprised this is happening so soon.”

2. On the Reverend Jerry Falwell comparing Hillary Clinton to the devil:
“Well, I guess it takes one to know one.”

3. On Military coup leaders in Thailand ordering soldiers to smile and be friendly:
“You better be happy, or else!”

4. On participants in fishing tourney having to take a urine test to check for performance-enhancing drugs:
“Now, when they say participants, are they talking about the anglers, or the fish?”

5. On a guy that has been hit four times in the last year by gunfire:
“Is this guy’s last name target?”

6. On a guy who accidentally shot an M-16 in his apartment … and then found out the next day that he killed his neighbor:
“Further proof that an IQ test should be required prior to purchasing a weapon.”

7. On the annual Texas Chainsaw Pumpkin Carving contest:
“Sometimes, you just get this strange feeling that some things may not be good ideas.”
