Oh fuck, considering the mortality rate in my family I'll just be able to be 80 & with enough Viagra still have a hard on.

Love this little thing from The Sirens of Titan:

Rented a tent, a tent, a tent;
Rented a tent, a tent, a tent.
Rented a tent!
Rented a tent!
Rented a, rented a tent.

-Snare drum on Mars

"A bald man made an attempt on Constant's life with a hot dog, stabbed at the window glass with it, splayed the bun, broke the frankfurter--left a sticky sunburst of mustard and relish."--K.V.
