I still hold my breath when I pass by cemetaries because it is impolite to breathe when other people can't.

I used to think that the world was a person, and that earthquakes were caused by the world farting. It only seemed natural then, for me to asume that volcano's were the world being sick.

I used to think people were called "human beans".
