Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.

But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky?

Well, do ya, punk?

"Be careful what you wish for, you may get it."

Earliest reference I could find: There are a number of versions of this quote and it is attributed to a number of sources such as in the story the Monkey's Paw, which is a classic horror story apparently written by W.W. Jacobs,, first appearing in Harpers Monthly in 1902. The story begins with a quotation "Be careful what you wish for, you may receive it" - unfortunately attributed by the author to Anonymous.

"An insult is like a drink. It only affects you if you accept it."
Glory Road, Robert Heinlein (probably not the original author of the quote)

White's statement:

"Don't lose heart."

Owen's Commentary on White's Statement:

"...they might want to cut it out ...."

Byrd's Addition to Owen's Commentary on White's Statement:

"...and they want to avoid a lengthy search."




And on a less joking note:

"Most folks are as happy as they make their minds up to be." - Abraham Lincoln

Said by one of the characters in a book by L. E. Modesitt. A book from his "Recluse" series. But I didn't write down which book when I wrote the quote down and now I can't remember which book the quote came from.

But just think about the quote for a minute. Please.
