Yes, but petrol bombs belong in churches.

Well, I don't enjoy them togethor.  Lemonade sandwiches just don't settle
in my stomach right.

The only running I do is down the shops to buy a pack of cigarettes before
they shut.

Then again, there are times when it is both tempting and necessary to run
away from the cops.

Pure malice is probably the only one that makes sense on this list.

Who drinks water?  Tell me the 20 liter tank is filled with beer, then you
might grab my interest.  Tell me where you have it stashed and I might find
another excuse for running....

If it was beer (Newcastle Brown), Friday Night.

I don't know, but if we're still talking beer, the guy who pulled the plug
would have earned himself a swift uppercut to the nostril.

Alegebrae is a weird farce designed to irritate students into a frenzy of
orgiastic drunken violence.  Needing nothing to inspire the latter, I see
no point in the former.

And the country might not even have a president.  I might live in Stalinist
Russia and address my leader as `Glorious Comrade' even though I know that
he is perfectly capable of having my testicles removed with a blunt hacksaw
as soon as look at me.

Analyse my IQ now Mr. Science Fair tester Man!
