Oops! I credited that quote to the character he played on the sitcom "Newsradio"....his real name was Phil Hartman. (I never can remember his name....and when he made that statement in character on that old sitcom, I just wrote it down as a quote of his fictional character!) Sorry for the error! http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-3166

Oh, I loved Phil Hartman, Josh. To me, he was the most talented person to ever emerge from SNL. I didn't remember his characters name but I never missed an episode of Newsradio. I knew he was Canadian but didn't realize he was from Brantford, that's only about three hours from here. And how tragic that he died the way he did. They say he was thinking of leaving his wife....it's too bad he didn't.

RB, that is one that I quote all the time. I get so tired of people who whimper and whine about every little thing.

Okay, Ophiliasgrandma, here's one about whining: "Magnetism is one of the six fundamental forces of the universe, with the other five being gravity, duct tape, whining, remote control, and the force that pulls dogs toward the groins of strangers." Dave Barry
