The Quote of the Day

We have the right as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.

Davy Crockett
 
A Texas lawyer was being interviewed by a reporter as he exited the court house after winning a hard fought case for a client accused of murder even though the suspect admitted that he did indeed kill the victim. The following ensued:

Lawyer: Well, madam, I've never seen a horse that asked to be stolen.

Annie Oakley
 
Any woman who does not thoroughly enjoy tramping across the country on a clear frosty morning with a good gun and a pair of dogs does not know how to enjoy life.
