Two completely disconnected quotes of the day. The first comes from a recipe for Buttermilk-Sausage pancakes, cooked up for shrove Tuesday, with this note:
Nevertheless each year at this time I do my best to make up for at least one devout Catholic by taking up a new vice for 40 days. I'd tell you what my new vice is this year, but since the episode back in '84 with the penguin and choir director I've found it best to keep that to myself -- you don't want to spend a weekend in jail with an angry penguin.
The second is a response by "Cliff" to Rebecca Blood's posting of Paul Kedrosky's One-Sentence Challenge:
"Sadly, each of us is only as moral as we feel we can afford to be."
Except that I'd drop the "sadly" and acknowledge that that's both human nature and what we consider moral.
