Doggone it Quicky, you just went and spoiled the fun.

Next thing you know, you'll be telling us that those lists of stupid sayings
attributed to Dan Quayle, then attributed to Al Gore, and whoever else are
not real.  Or how immigrants spread bubonic plague.

My illusions have been shattered....


P.S. There is a new Quayle entering politics. Dan's son is running for
office in Arizona. He's campaigning on family values, etc. He also was a
writer, or contributor or somesuch to an adult website. Please, if you live
in Arizona, elect this guy!
