It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.

In your twenties, I think you should have all of the sex that you're inclined to have, as long as you're safe about it. Use condoms and everything. Go with your instincts. This is the time to have a lot of sex and do drugs. But make sure you live through it.

Since so many people these days don't seem to start their families until around age forty, I predict there will be less child beating, but more slipped disks from lifting babies out of cribs. Even the father of advanced age who's not inclined to spare the rod is likely to suffer more than his victim: The first punch he throws might well be the last straw for his rotator cuff, reducing his disciplinary options to mere verbal abuse and napping.

That's not to say that I don't find anything offensive.

I like talking about things that are taboo, because it makes them not taboo anymore.

If I don't do stand-up for two weeks, I get freaked out.

Guess what, Martin Luther King? I had a dream, too.
