Beautiful credit! The foundation of modern society. Who shall say that this is not the golden age of mutual trust, of unlimited reliance upon human promises?

Everyone is hustling to get there, and get their two cents in, but are their ideas really well respected? Is there stance in society respected?

Speaking of Quarterback nicknames, you hear they're calling Jay Cutler 50 cent? Because you only get two quarters out of him. — Frank Caliendo
The Pink Panther wasn't shown to the press for reasons that soon became apparent when I saw it at a public performance.

Recreational talking is, along with private singing, one of our saddest recent losses.
