Can anyone give me an idea how much a taxi from O'Hare to downtown might cost?
Um. I'd estimate about $45.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

I paid $40 for O'Hare to Lincoln Park back in 2004, which is about the same distance.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
$40 it is, then. They don't care if I "round off". Thanks!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Someone buy Giuliani a dictionary....
"Freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do."
OK... so I guess under a dictatorship you're even more free?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It would be nice if they had a cite for the quote, given how damning it is.
