They say 'life is precious'. To who? To you, when you're young and you've got a few dollars in your pocket.

Doug StanhopeI hate when your friends quit drinking on you, don't you? It's sad. I've lost more friends to AA than Liberace did to the virus. It's sad to see 'em go. You see a thirty day chip on your buddy's key ring, it's like seeing a toe tag on his cold, stiff corpse.
