“Many dead animals in the past changed to fossils while others preferred to be oil.”
“Genetics explains why you look like your father … and if you don’t, why you should.”
“Vacuums are nothing. I only mention them to let them know we know they are there.”
“Some people can tell the time by looking at the sun, but I have never been able to make out the numbers.”
“We say the cause of perfume disappearing is evaporation. Evaporation gets blamed for a lot of things people forget to put the top on.”
