"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow, often misattributed to Mark Twain
- arp242 2y agoOld Soviet joke: A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away. After a few weeks of this the seller asks what's going on: "why do you always look at the cover but never inside? Can I help you?" "I'm looking for an obituary." "An obituary? But those are in the back and you're only looking at the front!" "Oh no, the obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page."
- tzs 2y agoFrom Bierce's "The Devil's Dictionary": > HOMICIDE > -n. > The slaying of one human being by another. There are four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy, but it makes no great difference to the person slain whether he fell by one kind or another - the classification is for advantage of the lawyers.
