[QOTW] QOTW for the Week of April 5, 2009

[QOTW]

Hey, look!
Apparently I'm the quoter this week.
Who knew? (Well, apparently Dan did. I, on the other hand, had  
forgotten.)

And there are quotes! (Or should that be "quotations"? "Quotation of the
Week" lacks a certain something.)
Anyway, there are ten of them. They're funny! I hope I don't need to  
tell
you that, though. It's sort of like putting "A Comedy" on the program  
for
a play- if people need that clarification, there's a problem somewhere.

Last week, Ms. Budding said "Yes, even Stalin did not succeed in  
killing the entire population of
the Soviet Union. There's some good in everyone." which was funny  
enough to win. Congratulations to her.

Without further rambling, the quot(e/ation)s:

"I mean, you never read about those delicate medieval maidens going
*HRONK* into their handkerchiefs."
-Kate's dad on the tokens of affection exchanged in tales of courtly
love

"It's like an Etch-a-Sketch at a million miles an hour."
--Ned, on how television screens work

"I've been thinking about probability for seriously my entire life."
"...You need to start thinking about other stuff, then."
-Eric Li and Mr Paul

"World War Two has Finland's moment of importance on the world stage--
perhaps that's too mean. Finland is a very important country, just
like Canada."
--Ms Budding

"Don't go near the pool that's making zappy noises."
--Mr Paul's advice on electrically charged swimming pools

"Honey, you wouldn't know shameless flirting unless it bit you in the,
er... neck."
-Hannah K-H

"...but first, I want to make sure you know how to use your right
hands." - Mr. Riahi, giving his students practice problems involving
the right-hand-rule.

"Most of what the orchestra plays is pre-tuba-invention music."
-Eli Kohlenberg

"Now that was terribly embarrassing, wasn't it?"
-Mr. Davis at John Atkins

"I can't work well in an all-male group! There's just too much
testosterone! As much as I love testosterone..."
-Peter Hall


And there they are, in all their delicate-maiden, hyperbole-laden,
confusion-creatin' deliciousness.

Enjoy.

-Asa "gee double-oh dee double-you eye double-ell eye ee" Goodwillie
