Hey guys, just got a really cool quote from a friend...thought I'd post it and then everyone can add quotes that they love!
Cat
Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
That's much more meaningful than the one I had in mind.
"TV you will watch, hrmmmm?"
-Me, pretending to be Yoda telling Luke to use his force powers to watch TV.
"You reap what you sow!"
Very helpful quote ;B
I've been waiting to use this quote:
"Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things: One is that God loves you and you're going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the most awful, filthy thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love. "
--Butch Hancock
I've been proofing one of my sites, and I came across a quote among my transcripts that I rather liked the first time I heard it. So since it's in my mind, I'll mention it. ;)
Quote"Why were you upset at your party?"
"Because I lied and they all knew I lied. That's why. I just wanted to have a family. Even a pretend one was too much to ask for. You couldn't understand."
"I couldn't? My understanding has always been that a family is not only those from whom you are born, but those to whom you belong."
(We see his face as he realizes she's right.)
"Did I screw up, too?"
"No - not at all."
Peace & Luv, Liz
hmmmm... always a nice quote to keep things in perspective, at least for me:
A pupil is not above his teacher, but everyone that is perfectly instructed will be like his teacher

Quoted from a man with the upmost calibre and IQ and stuff:
"Alex, Carry my love child!"

I think his current marital status may have had some influence on that type of behavioral (?sp) pattern... ;P
"A toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll. If we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls."
"Marriage means commitment. Of course, so does insanity"
I think this one fits here ;P
I had this list sent to me...thought it was cool...wonder if any guys would be offended ;D

I've seen some of those things in the past, but either my memory is repressing most of those, or there are new ones on these lists. 8)
More quotes! Serious ones this time. Though I have some good one-liners.
- A tree doesn't ponder why it grows one gnarled branch, a dog why one ear flops half-mast, a clover why it sprout three leaves, not four. What is broken, mends; what is stretched to the limit, strengthens. That which is flawed glows with a certain beauty -- Anon

- Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat -- Harry Emerson Fosdick
- There is nothing noble about being superior to some other man. The true nobility lies in being superior to your previous self -- Hindu proverb
- There is only one real failure in life that is possible and that is, not to be true to the best one knows -- Frederick Farrer
One Liners:
- Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow!
- A closed mouth gathers no feet.

Great quotes! :D
Poor Fosdick though, his name doesn't escape the censorbot. :P
Haha! I know. I cracked up when I first saw it :D. Poor guy, it's not his fault ;).
My boss's first name also didn't escape the censorbot at work when he tried to unsubscribe to something which he had to do via a website.

A Deep Thought, brought to you by Jack Handy:
At first I thought, if I were Superman, a perfect secret identity would be "Clark Kent, Dentist," because you could save money on tooth X-rays. But then I thought, if a patient said, "How's my back tooth?" and you just looked at it with your X-ray vision and said, "Oh it's okay," then the patient would probably say, "Aren't you going to take an X-ray, stupid?" and you'd say, "Aw screw you, get outta here," and then he probably wouldn't even pay his bill.
Sixteen Things That It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn by Dave Barry
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve its full potential, that word
would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
Final thought for the day: Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
Cat
LOL! Those are great!
I can't believe I forgot one of my very favourites: Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
Anywayz, Ways to Cope with Stress

Kinda a negative quote....and i cant memba where i heard it, maybe i made it up :/ Well here goes..
"If practice makes perfect...but nobodys perfect, then why practice at all?"
wooo hahah look at this thread, its been a while since I visited haha I love them all! :P
as to agree with James (dont feel bad I guess all quotes are welcome here ;P)
I heard some like "If ignorance is a bliss... why isnt there more ppl happy?"

Taken from Frank Herbert's DUNE:
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my fear is gone I will turn and face fears path, and only I will remain.

Hehe, I only read the beginning of Dune, but that part was in the beginning, and I do recall he got the litany from the bene gesserits. Also, wasn't one of them? That whole thing about being the only male bene gesserit or something, which IIRC was half the point of the story....? ???
yeah... it was like the wole story from the BG POV. a male BG (had a nice name too ; ) would be able to see things hidden from female ones...
You two and your technicalities. :P
lol, sowwy ; ) ...you know, I did agree with you ;-D ...have you read the complete series James??
I'm afraid not. Just "Dune" and it was a couple years ago. I don't read as much as I should.
Right now, I'm taking a glance at "The Code Book", which is all about Code and Cryptography. Having been in the military and having ad to use some crypto equipment, it's rather interesting...
I've read the rest of the books, and... with apologies to B'rrr, I don't think you missed much, J-R. Dune was great, it's sequels were so-so, IMHO.
Peace & Luv, Liz
don't apologize to me ; ) ...I liked the first book the most, the rest weren't that good... well, I kinda liked part 6, that one was cool... but the others were not really worth reading twice
I don't really like the new books (of a relative of Frank... his son perhaps??)
Getting back on topic a wee... I am brilliant and thought up an awesome retort today.
Anytime you insult or diss somebody, and they say,
"Heeeeey, you take that back!"
reply with,
"Sorry, but I have a no-return policy."
No, really, it's brilliant.
Peace & Luv, Liz
hahahahaha <3
And now a few examples of how odd my household is... ;)
Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
In my house, we need to leave the lid down, or the cat will cheerfully jump into the toilet. Therefore, anyone who leaves the lid up gets to bathe the cat. So we both have to lift the lid. XD
Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
Sure, shopping is a sport!
Step 1: Find all items as quickly as possible.
Step 2: Get through the checkout line as quickly as possible.
Step 3: Leave and go home as quickly as possible.
Actually, Harrison's the one who takes a long time shopping... it takes him forever to pick stuff out. ;P
Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
OK, this one isn't so odd. In fact, it explains a lot. ;)
Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
Harrison actually has more clothes and more shoes than I do. I kid you not. ;P
Quote from: J-ROC on May 20, 2004, 02:45:46 PM1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
Harrison says this a lot, although it's usually in response to me complaining *I* need to get in shape. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
hahahaha, great rules James!! ...don't agree with all of them, but they are all way funny ; )
Quote1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
I let you get away with the others, James, but I have to protest to that one ;P :)
Protest all you want, I'M NOT STOPPING TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS!!! :D
*mental note: Never ride in the same car that James is driving!* ;D

And look at where he ended up! Now that wasn't, so bad, now was it?!
Otherwise, the US wouldn't have been discovered until some crabby old Canadian senior citizen decided they needed a nice warm place to go in the winter! :D
And maybe Canada would border Mexico! Mmm...I like Mexican food....Mmmm....:D
lol....nice in theory except that Columbus landed in the Caribbean, James. :P
Pssst....shut up! YOU'RE NOT HELPING! :D
Lol, I love that version of the history of the world! XD
What do you mean by "version", Bushie? it's the god-honest truth! ;)
Hehe, sure... ;)
Though I don't doubt that it's very close to the truth. ;)

QuoteIronChef Foicite: well, there's a lot of reasons
IronChef Foicite: i mean, roses only last like a couple weeks
IronChef Foicite: and that's if you leave them in water
IronChef Foicite: and they really only exist to be pretty
IronChef Foicite: so that's like saying
IronChef Foicite: "my love for you is transitory and based solely on your appearance"
IronChef Foicite: but a potato!
IronChef Foicite: potatos last for f***ing ever, man
IronChef Foicite: in fact, not only will they not rot, they actually grow s*** even if you just leave them in the sack
IronChef Foicite: that part alone makes it a good symbol
IronChef Foicite: but there's more!
IronChef Foicite: there are so many ways to enjoy a potato! you can even make a battery with it!
IronChef Foicite: and that's like saying "i have many ways in which I show my love for you"
IronChef Foicite: and potatos may be ugly, but they're still awesome
IronChef Foicite: so that's like saying "it doesn't matter at all what you look like, I'll still love you"

C'mon, baby....let's make some spuds. ;)
Lol, you guys are kraaazy! XB
...maybe I'll give my future girlfriend a bouquet of spuds sometime. ;B
Hee. Reminds me a little of an old routine Harrison used to do... if he and his quartet were doing some kind of valentine to someone as a gig, the group would sing songs and such, and then Harrison would go, "What better way to say 'I love you'... than with a spatula!", and pull a spatula out and give it to the "honoree". Hee.
Peace & Luv, Liz
I now call Say "Ray-Po", as a reference to "J-Lo". :D
lol james you still havent said why its "Ray" you bum :P
No one has asked. Maybe I'll just forget and only you and I will know. :D
Hee, I can't believe I forgot to mention this one before. I bet a few people here can relate to it. :D

unknown?? ...lol, right!! my best guess is, he said that himself ;-D
Aaron! I'm shocked!
*mutters to self* It's ok...you can still claim to be innocent...ooohhh, I so didn't want to see it.
What's bad...I actually got it on the first read!
Cat
of course you both got what that meant, you are just deep down as perverted (or more) than the rest of us, the only difference is that you dont embrace it, you are ashamed of it :o
So keep covering whatever else you may, even so, you both got it (I had to actually read it twice btw, must be cuz Im waking up or something) either Im slow or just not as fast as you both, or probably both.
hahahha, never said I didn't got it... although I had to translate it first to understand it ;-D I'm not ashamed that I understand it now but that doesn't mean I have to embrace it either.
I'm not perverted! :o
Well, maybe deep down...but so far down I have no clue if it's there :P
Cat
lol, I think she meant we are, because we understand ob comment, if we were trully innocent (unspoiled) we wouldn't know what he was talking about.
lol, I usually get that with Jeysies comments, totally clueless, ...although I get it with others too.. lol, but I'm affraid I'm catching up :-\
Well, I will still claim innocense! *stands firm*
The problem is...I don't know how many of ya'll will believe me for long! :P
Cat
Well, maybe so...but I've matured since then ;D
There's only a select few who get kisses now!
Cat
Well, don't worry Cat, I won't quote your uberpervy comment that you said to me today! :D
I was like "that's a line right out of my book!" :D :D
What uberpervy remark? *innocent look*
Cat
lol, that is so not going to work anymore ;-D
Oh, come on! It should still work!
And for those wondering...let's just say that what I said and what I meant did not go hand in hand!
Cat
lol, ok a quote from James when he was quoting the wisest person i know:
'don't try, do or do not'
when i said i should try to have a good day ; )
It is correct, if you were so innocent you wouldnt have quite get it, how do you know something you supposedly claim do not? lol, sounds like a bluff sometimes, that means you do know more than you should then.

Dont worry, I can openly say I'm starting to do not believe neither of you, naive and unexperience doesn't means innocent, the fact you don't really do it doesnt means you are free of thinking it, which I've seen you both do lol :P
*snaps fingers* Shoot...Rob, she's figured us out!

Well, you're just a closet perv. You KNOW you lubz it. :D
I openly admit I am! Im not the one claiming to be innocent when the evidence say differently :P
so that you should be general but exclude me out of it, Im a perv and I know :D
I'm not a perv and i know it too,
cuz there is a whole scale between beeing a perv and innocent... I'm somewhere in between... don't know where exactly ;-D

AI=Artificial Incompetence (thats what it seems like at the moment)
"I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing."
I said that to my physics teacher when i didnt know the answer to a question...gave me a detention.
*ahem* >clears throat< These are the TRULY inspirational quotes you've all been waiting for. :P (Probably some of these have already been said in this thread, oh well. :P)
"Procrastinate NOW!"
"Dyselxics of the world, UNTIE!"
"5 out of 4 people can't do fractions."
"Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."
"There are three kinds of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't."
And, my favorite, (this comes from one of the bands at Ozzfest last summer...the lead singer said in this demonic sounding voice:)
"This song is dedicated to BREAKFAST.....for bein' the most important meal of the day!"
Quote"There are three kinds of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't."
I liked that one. Although, it bothers me that it took me a couple of seconds to get it.
in what group would you be then? ;-D
lol, looks a lot like:
there are only 10 kinds of ppl, those who understand binary and those who doesn't
"Life isn't fair, its just fairer than death."
and
"I will eat your'e soul"
XB
I have no soul.
XB
oooh, but that reminds me of a quote.
"I sold my soul. But, hey! I got a shiny quarter!"
Quotethere are only 10 kinds of ppl, those who understand binary and those who doesn't
That ones better, but it bothers me that I got it before I finished reading it.
I DO NOT mean to offend anybody with this post.
Heres a few quotes from President George W. Bush:
"I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together."
"Quotas are bad for America. It's not the way America is all about"
"First, we would not accept a treaty that would not have been ratified, nor a treaty that I thought made sense for the country."
"Let me put it to you this way, I'm not a revengeful person."
"Bush: First of all, cinco de Mayo is not the independence day. That's dieciseis de Septiembre, and...
Matthews: what's that in English?
Bush: Fifteenth of September"
"Many Americans have got debts. We want those Americans to be able to pay off that debts"
"I think the America people- I hope the American- I don't think, let me- I hope the American people trust me."
"Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, thats trustworthiness."
lmao....some of those I'd heard before, but most of them were new, actually! XD That's the guy who represents me to the internatial community! Gosh, I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I can form more coherent sentences than my leader! :P

"If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink."

Not in my part of the country, at least. They've switched to using bags. Not as much fun, IMHO.
At any rate, it's utterly scary how many of those are true for me. Heck, I still wear bicycle shorts under skirts (albeit for practical purposes now rather than fashion ones).
Still, there are a few that don't fit for me. For instance, I know I'll probably get lynched for this, but I don't think Saturday Night Live was *ever* funny. :P And I didn't wear Underoos, I had "Day of the Week" underwear. ;P (Heck, I probably should still wear those... I still can never keep track of what day it is.)

It never could keep my interest long enough, for me to watch a full episode(or even a few minutes). Just seems extremely stupid to me.

Heroes:
This time it's James. What would I do without such loyal friends such as him? Sometimes I forget me, and then James reminds me. It's all I could ask for.
This isn't exactly a quote, but this seemed the best place to post about it.
You know how every movie theater before the movie shows a short bit where they lay down all the rules of the theater? (No talking, no smoking, no cell phones, etc.) Well, the theater Harrison and I saw Spidey 2 at yesterday had one of the funniest ones I've seen in a while.
It had a adult man, a young boy, and Charlie Sheen. (Sorry, he's the only one I recognized off-hand.) It starts with the first two already seated, and as Charlie sits down he asks, "So, you mean there's no nudity in a PG-13 movie?". The other man goes, "No, there's no nudity. Now shhhh." The boy goes, "Yeah, you're not allowed to talk." The words "NO TALKING" show up on the screen, and an announcer voice says, "There is no talking allowed during the movie."
Then we see Charlie lighting up and puffing away on a cigar, and the man leans over and takes it away and goes, "Hey, you can't do that either!" And we see "NO SMOKING", and the announcer says, "There is no smoking inside the theater."
Then the boy wipes his face with a napkin and tosses it on the floor. The man picks it up and says, "Hey, you can't throw that on the floor!" The boy pouts and whines, "Well, where am I supposed to put it?" We see "PLACE TRASH IN RECEPTACLES", and the announcer chimes in with, "Please throw all trash in the proper trash receptacles."
Then we see Charlie yakking on his cell phone, and the boy yanks it away and scolds him, and we see "NO CELL PHONES", and the announcer says "Turn off all cell phones and pagers during the movie."
Then an usher comes over to the trio and says, "I'm sorry, you folks are going to have to leave, you're disrupting the movie." The man says, "Oh, we're not really misbehaving, we're just showing the audience what not to do during a movie. These other folks are all extras. Some of them aren't even real!", and he pulls a fake blow-up dummy into view. Charlie chimes in with, "Yeah, this isn't even a real movie. Look at all the cameras and crew over there."
He points, and the shot then changes to seeing a blank movie screen with lots of crew and cameramen standing in front of it. We then go back to the usher, who's staring with a deadpan look on his face. He then waves and says, "Those cameras aren't allowed in here either, they'll have to leave." It changes back to showing the crew, we see "NO PHOTOGRAPHIC DEVICES", and the announcer says, "No recording devices are allowed during the show."
The shot changes back to the usher and the three "movie-goers", and the usher waves off to the right and says, "Yeah, he has to leave, too." The shot then changes to showing the announcer sitting in the theater in a suit and holding a microphone. "NO ANNOUNCERS" shows on screen, and the announcer guy says with a fake smile, "There are no announcers allowed during the movie."
Finally, we see the three movie-goers and the announcer leaving the theater. Charlie complains, "We just got kicked out of our own public service announcement." The boy asks, "I'm hungry. Can I get a hot dog?" The man goes, "No, that's just a prop, you can't eat those here. If this were a real movie, you could get a real hot dog."
The announcer then looks at the "audience" and says, "You can get refreshments at our local concession stand." The three movie-goers look back at the announcer, and Charlie says, "You have to go away and leave us alone now." The three then walk off-screen. The announcer looks hurt for a moment, then recovers and says, "And now it's time to enjoy the pre-feature previews!", and it ends.
The description just doesn't do it justice... everyone in the theater was sniggering like crazy during the whole thing. Now that's the way to handle the requisite laying down the rules!
Peace & Luv, Liz

Hee! Thanks. I was kind of wondering why they randomly had Charlie Sheen in such a thing. ;)
I actually think I forgot a couple things in there... my mind doesn't remember details that well. But you still get the gist of how silly it was. XD
Even better was when they said "No announcers", Harrison pretended to jump in shock, and said "Nooooo! They can't do this to me!" and pretended to start crying. That just made me laugh even harder. :suffer:

Subject: Dear Alcohol
Dear Alcohol,
First and foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. My friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer with the game, and you're even around in the holidays hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings. Yet, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences, briefed below for your review.
1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-boyfriends/girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not what to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night?
2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal and, though cooking is far from my specialty, why you suggested that I eat a kabob with chili sauce, along with a big Italian hoagie and some stale chips (washed down with chocolate Nesquik and topped off with a Kit Kat - all after a few cheese curls and chili cheese fries) is beyond me. Eclectic eater I am, but I think you went too far this time.
3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down, it's completely unnecessary. The black and blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day is beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock.
4. Pictures: This can be a blessing in disguise, as it can often clarify the last point below, but the following costumes are banned from ever being placed on my head in public again: Indian wigs, sombreros, bows, ties, boxes, upside-down cups, inflatable balloon animals, traffic cones, or bras. Also, what is with you making me take pictures with people I clearly don't like when I'm sober, yet they suddenly become my best friends when a flash is presented?
5. Beer Goggles: If I think I may know him/her from somewhere, I most likely do not. Please do not request that I go over and see if in fact, I do actually know that person. The phrase 'let's F***' is illegal from now on. While I may be thinking this, please reinstate the brain-to-mouth-block that would stop this thought from becoming a statement, especially in public. Please stop me from talking to the guy/girl with the acned-up face, bad breath, beer belly, etc. Why are they so appealing to me while I'm with you and why are they so disgusting to me the next morning after you have worn off??
6. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous now. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3 p.m hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken
(water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to bed/passing out facedown on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal and in no way interfere with my daily Saturday or Sunday (or any day for that matter) activities. C'mon now, it's only fair - you do your part, I'll do mine.
Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now and would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets. In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above and address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Friday 3 p.m. (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions and hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.
Thank you from your biggest fan.

Why God did not get tenure
1. He had only one major publication.
2. It was in Hebrew.
3. It had no references.
4. It wasn't published in a referenced journal.
5. Some even doubt he wrote it by himself.
6. It may be true that he created the world,
but what has he done since then?
7. His cooperative efforts have been quite limited.
8. The scientific community has had a hard time
replicating his results.
9. He never applied to the ethics board for permission
to use human subjects.
10. When one experiment went awry he tried to cover it
by drowning his subjects.
11. When subjects did not behave as predicted,
he deleted them from the sample.
12. He rarely came to class, just told the students
to read the book.
13. Some say he had his son teach the class.
14. He expelled his first two students for learning.
15. Although there were only 10 requirements,
most of his students failed his tests.
16. His office hours were infrequent and usually held
on a mountaintop.
