\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.”
\n~ Jack Handy<\/p>\n

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.
\n~ Stephen Wright<\/p>\n

To some it’s a six-pack, to me it’s a Support Group. Salvation in a can!
\n~Dave Howell<\/p>\n

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.<\/p>\n

Dorothy Parker is one of my favourite writers: she knew how to hold her liquor, but not her tongue …<\/p>\n

I don’t care what is written about me so long as it isn’t true.<\/p>\n

There’s a hell of a distance between wise-cracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wise-cracking is simply calisthenics with words.<\/p>\n

This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.<\/p>\n

I hate writing, I love having written.<\/p>\n

Don’t look at me in that tone of voice.<\/p>\n

Brevity is the soul of lingerie.<\/p>\n

If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised.<\/p>\n

She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B.<\/p>\n

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.<\/p>\n

By the time you swear you’re his,
\nShivering and sighing.
\nAnd he vows his passion is,
\nInfinite, undying.
\nLady make note of this —
\nOne of you is lying.<\/p>\n

You can lead a horticulture, but you can’t make her think.<\/p>\n

If you wear a short enough skirt, the party will come to you.<\/p>\n

And if my heart be scarred and burned,
\nThe safer, I, for all I learned.<\/p>\n
