I do not like broccoli.
And I haven't liked it
since I was a little kid
and my mother made me eat it.
And I'm President of the United States
and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.
~ George Bush

Zen does not
Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.

It's more fun
“It's more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words, but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'”

When I sound the fairy call
When I sound the fairy call,
Gather here in silent meeting,
Chin to knee on the orchard wall,
Cooled with dew and cherries eating.
Merry, merry, Take a cherry
Mine are sounder, Mine are rounder
Mine are sweeter, For the eater
When the dews fall. And you'll be fairies all.
~Robert Graves, "Cherry-Time," Fairies and Fusiliers, 1918

This is grain
This is grain, which any fool can eat, but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption… Beer!

I went
I went into a McDonald's yesterday and said, "I'd like some fries." The girl at the counter said, "Would you like some fries with that?"

Without question
Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

Inside me
Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.
