Do not live half a life and do not die a half death If you choose silence, then be silent When you speak, do so until you are finished If you accept, then express it bluntly Do not mask it If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance Do not accept half a solution Do not believe half truths Do not dream half a dream Do not fantasize about half hopes Half the way will get you no where You are a whole that exists to live a life not half a life. ~Khalil Gibran

"Americans will eat anything if its toasted and held together with a couple of tooth picks" --- The Long Goodbye
Certainly madam, so long as it, "has lettuce sticking out of the sides, preferably a little wilted" (the second half of the quote).
Iceberg is good but don't try and foist any of that pseudohealthy romaine crap into my toasted pepperjack with toothpicks.
