Mortimer Zuckerman's motto (10/25 US News&World Report) motto for the Israeli-Palestinian talks:

You cannot turn a tiger into a vegetarian by serving him more meat.

(Just came out today, so I KNOW it's not a repeat on this thread!!)

Anybody have other appropriate mottos to suggest for other current events?

BTW, did you hear about the penalty charged against Secret Service agents who tried to block Monica's entry into the Oval Office? They were charged with pass interference.

Grammar and sex

A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves, and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:

"Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses, they come together. I come again. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come once-a-more."

"You foul-mouthed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. Imma just tellun my friend howa to spella Mississippi."
