"My grandpa worked at the gives-orphans-cancer factory until he died of cancer, my daddy worked at the gives-orphans-cancer factory until he died of cancer, I've been working at the gives-orphans-cancer factory for the last twenty five years and by God I'm proud of my recent cancer diagnosis, and I will fight with every fiber of my being to make sure that my son grows up to work at the gives-orphans-cancer factory!"
“'This is the excellent foppery of the world, that,
when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit
of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our
disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as
if we were villains on necessity; fools by
heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and
treachers by spherical pre-dominance; drunkards,
liars, and adulterers by an enforc'd obedience of
planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,
by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion
of whore-master man, to lay his goatish
disposition to the charge of a star! My
father compounded with my mother under the
Dragon's Tail, and my nativity was under Ursa
Major, so that it follows I am rough and
lecherous. Fut! I should have been that I am,
had the maidenliest star in the firmament
twinkled on my bastardizing.”
