Well, Fry is considered a national treasure in England, but he'd be easy to miss if you managed to avoid Wilde, "Bones", and Gosford Park.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's some hope.
Cool. I've been waiting decades for management to come around to this attitude....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The world's first Ferris wheel was at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
That was a great essay, Tom. I can't imagine calling my cable company's customer service line and not being irritated. I just accept that it's going to happen, which is sad.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Seriously, we'd be all "One time...this lady called...and she just asked for what she needed."
All right. Ima do it from now on. But if they act shocked at my lack of social graces, I'm totally blaming all of you. And they'll be all, "Your invisible friends told you to say what, now?"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
There is only one way to survive angry customers emotionally: you have to realize that they’re not angry at you; they’re angry at your business, and you just happen to be a convenient representative of that business.
And sometimes? They're just assholes.

Turn your computer upside down over a sink and shake it. That should drain off some Internet and let you have some more.
