"There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted."
— Judith Martin

"I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group.
They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them. You know, they've had their budgets cut. They're paid nothing. Books are falling apart. The libraries are just like the ass end of everything, right?

"
— Michael Francis Moore

"So hot out the box can we pick up the pace?
Turn it up, heat it up I need to be entertained
Push the limit, are you with it?
Baby, don’t be afraid
I’m a hurt ‘ya real good, baby

Let’s go it’s my show
Baby, do what I say
Don’t trip off the glitz
That I’m gonna display
I told ya I’ma hold ya
Down until you’re amazed
Give it to you ’til your screaming my name

No escaping when I start
Once I’m in I own your heart
There’s no way you’ll ring the alarm
So hold on until it’s over

Chorus
Oooh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I’m about to do?
‘Cause it’s about to get rough for you
I’m here for your entertainment
Oooh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
‘Ya fallen angel swept ya off ya feet
Well I’m about to turn up the heat
I’m here for your entertainment

It’s alright you’ll be fine baby, I’m in control
Take the pain take the pleasure
I’m the master of both
Close your eyes not your mind
Let me into your soul
I’ma work ya ’til your totally blown

No escaping when I start
Once I’m in I own your heart
There’s no way you ring the alarm
So hold on until it’s over

Chorus
Oooh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I’m ’bout to do?
Cause it’s about to get rough for you
I’m here for your entertainment
Oh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You fallen angel swept ya off your feet
Well I’m about to turn up the heat
I’m here for your entertainment

Entertainment…
I’m here for your entertainment…
Do you like what you see?
Let me entertain ya ’till you scream

Chorus
oooh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I’m ’bout to do?
‘Cause it’s about to get rough for you
I’m here for your entertainment
Oooh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You fallen angel swept ya off your feet
Well I’m about to turn up the heat
I’m here for your entertainment"

"I read that Monica Seles got stabbed. And although I have nothing against Monica Seles, I'm glad somebody in sports got stabbed. I like the idea of it; it's good entertainment. If we're lucky, it'll spread through sports. And show business, too! Wouldn't you like to see a guy jump up on stage and stab some famous singer? Especially a real shitty pop singer? Maybe they'll even start stabbing comedians. Fuck it, I'm ready! I never perform without my can of mace. I have a switchblade knife, too. I'll cut your eye out and go right on telling jokes."
— George Carlin (Brain Droppings)
