    Al, this is an extremely dangerous condition. The only cure known to mankind is to immediately drink copious amounts of alcohol. Repeat until brain stops hurting or heart stops beating. Whichever is the sooner.

    Here's one - who said this:

    "I place the child in the bottle. The child cannot escape. Why is it so?"
    "I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."
