    a couple of quotes from eddie izzard. quite a good comedian

    “But then the Roman Empire fell like this- "oh sh*t". And we went into
    what the historians called the Stupid F*cker period. Where everyone
    was going -"er, I dunno. Is that a Roman road? Can we eat it?" Then
    there was the dark Ages. " I can't even see you! Where are you?" - eddie izzard

    “If you've never seen an elephant ski, you've never been on acid.” - eddie izzard

    “But with dogs, we do have “bad dog.” Bad dog exists. “Bad dog! Bad dog! Stole a biscuit, bad dog!” The dog is saying, “Who are you to judge me? You human beings who’ve had genocide, war against people of different creeds, colors, religions, and I stole a biscuit?! Is that a crime? People of the world!”

    “Well, if you put it that way, I think you’ve got a point. Have another biscuit, sorry.”” - eddie izzard

    “Cause if you're a transvestite, you're actually a male tomboy, that's where the sexuality is. Yeah, it's not drag queen, no; gay men have got that covered. This is male tomboy, and people do get that mixed up, they put transvestite there - no no no no! Little bit of a crowbar separation, thank you! And gay men, I think, would agree. It's male lesbian, that's really where it is, ok? Because… it's true! ‘Cause most transvestites fancy girls, fancy women. So that's where it is.” - eddie izzard

    The National Rifle Association says, 'Guns don't kill people. People do'. But I think the gun helps. -eddie izzard

    Or 'The differences between a pessimist and an optimist are hgihlighted when they attempt to cross a one-way street. The optimist will look one way and the pessimist both ways!
