I am trying to compile a list of unusual quotations. These can be from any source, but should not be the sort normally found in books of quotes, either because they are funny, obscure and/or particularly recent(i.e. The sort of thing one would put in a .signature file). Anything would be appreciated. If there is sufficient response, I will post a summary. Bruce Kirby UUCP: {decvax|utzoo|ihnp4|allegra}!watmath!watmum!brkirby

Presumably, it is a sequel, but I have been unable to find the book that it follows. Its hilarious! (at least the parts that I heard were) This book reads like the fortune database (at least thats the kind of quotes one finds there). A friend of mine in Palo Alto uses quotes from this book for the database in his own fortune program. (strangely enough, my friend's name is Erik Fortune :-) Sorry, I don't know the publisher or author (editor?) but this shouldn't be too hard to find.
