"Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people."
"I admit I scanned it once, searching for some movie plots...but found only a pack of wild lies."
ON READING THE BIBLE
"Who put grapefruit juice in my grapefruit juice?!"
"Once...in the wilds of Afghanistan, I lost my corkscrew, and we were forced to live on nothing but food and water for days."
"I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally."
"Everyone must believe in something.
I believe I'll have another drink."
W. C. on MAE WEST:
"A plumber's idea of Cleopatra."
"I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast."
"My illness is due to my doctor's insistence that I drink milk, a whitish fluid they force down helpless babies."
"There's an Ethiopian in the fuel supply."
"I certainly do not drink all the time.
I have to sleep you know."
POSTSCRIPT
"I was married once...in San Francisco. I haven't seen her for many years. The great eartquake and fire in 1906 destroyed the marriage certificate. There's no legal proof. Which proves that earthquakes aren't all bad."
