friday's quotes of the week

Heard, read, or spoken by me this week:

"Well he's a real cute fellar, now, isn't he? Why, that's just a baby. Ya know, them fellars usually come in a nest, I mean there's always more of 'em, like 15 or so in a litter. I'd keep my eyes open if I was you."

Animal control guy with possum in tow to woman with her eyes open, believe you me.

"That piece of wood up there sure looks better than the old Aldi bag did on the side of the house."

Actually heard twice in one week.

"There was that law of life. So cruel and so just that one must grow or else pay more for remaining the same."

Norman Mailer
