    Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan were a wonderful pro wrestling announce team for WWE. Gorilla being the straight laced play-by-play guy and Bobby being his heelish adversary.

    Part of Gorilla's gimmick was using really technical terms to describe body parts. That led to this exchange.

    Bobby Heenan - "Gorilla, what's with you naming all the body parts?"

    Gorilla Monsoon - "I happen to have a knowledge about it. Why don't you try it?"

    Bobby Heenan - "There's a kick to the uterus."

    I loved those two.

    Reminds me of another quote, whose source I do not know: "It it no more reasonable to expect that the world will treat you better because you are a nice person than it is to assume that a bull will not charge you because you are a vegetarian."

    "You can't always be the best, but you can always do your best."

    A lovely lady I saw on the Great British Bake Off a few years ago and has stuck ever since. Really helps me knuckle down when things are tough.

    "The hard is what makes it great."

    It perfectly describes many of the eras of my life when I really had to push myself. Not all, but many.

    "Bingo," I cried, deeply moved, "you must act. You must assert yourself. You must put your foot down. You must take a strong stand. You must be master in the home."

    He looked at me. A long strange look.

    "You aren't married, are you, Bertie?"

    "You know I'm not."

    "I should have guessed it anyway."

    My horoscope for this week (from The Onion):

    Pisces | Feb. 19 to March 20
    This is a great time for romance in the workplace, if you’re the sort of idiot who thinks that’s even close to a good idea.

    You’re not the kind of person who lets your physical handicaps stop you, but that’s because you prey on people with even fewer limbs than yourself, you sick bastard.

    On hearing the flip that many Republican senators are saying regarding the appropriateness of selecting a Supreme Court Justice close to a presidential election, I was reminded of this Samuel Butler quote of 1678:

    "What makes all doctrines plain and clear?
    About two hundred pounds a year.
    And that which was proved true before
    Proved false again? Two hundred more."
