From the movie "The Long Grey Line" (one of my all time favorite movies) Directed by John Ford:

Maureen O'hara (Mary) to Tyrone Power (her husband young Marty): "As himself used to say, Old Martin, there's a time and a place for assault and batt'ry"

from some old 1950's song: ".....be like 2 fried eggs, keep your sunny side up!"

CK, I LOVE that speech from the movie "Patton". ÒNow I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." is about my fave part of the whole speech.

Any old Hippies ever have this poster on your wall, black light shining on it? "Suppose they gave a war and nobody came"

A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling
by Mark Twain

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all. Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.
