    To wank or not to wank, that is the question.

    I'm gonna break the rhythm here and try to go back to the Moose's original theme of nominating a quote to ruin... (let's see how long it lasts)

    I'll ruin Henry V with "Once more unto the beach, dear friends, once more"

    and nominate the boy, Oscar - "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"

    @Hammer for some reason something very vulgar came in mind. Let's say it ended with: "We shall reproduce!"

    Well, ok then. Since I came this far:

    "We shall fuck on the beaches, we shall fuck on the landing grounds, we shall fuck in the fields and in the streets, we shall fuck in the hills; we shall reproduce."

    I would rather sit on someone's face, and have it all to myself, than be crowded at an orgy.

    I blame @Malisky for corrupting me.

    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Seem to be really sincere in their beliefs,
    So you gotta respect them
    For that at least.
