I gave you my fire, and look what you did with it. Love is for the birds.

You're no poet you're just a man without shame.

Well, well. I am not a man. I never was. And as for shame? Shame on you. This reminds me of the day i over heard Ebola and AIDS having a detailed conversation during happy hour at the tgi friday's down the way a bit. and i quote

AIDS - what do you mean they have a new cocktail?

EBOLA - I'M SICK OF THIS FANCY SHIT FOR FUCK'S SAKE I JUST WANT A BLOODY MARY.

(BUBONIC PLAGUE COMES IN AND SITS NEXT TO THEM)
PLAGUE- (TO THE OTHERS) HEY FELLOWS (TO BARTENDER)
GIVE ME A BLACK RUSSIAN.

aids and ebola JUST LOOK AT ONE ANOTHER AND LAUGH.

Settle, i have more shame then the lead singer of great white without his favorite bandana.

It was these huge vultures that live in the straits of Gibralter actually, quite rare, do you know of these birds. Famous in Greek literature, consistantly.

Short and to the point. Not suttle enough. Tone it down and add to it.
