    Andy Rooney
    “Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!”

    Quote taken from Chapter 1 of The Corpse Wore Gingham: You love to figure out
    “Quote taken from Chapter 1 of The Corpse Wore Gingham:

    "You love to figure out things as much as I do,” Piper said.

    “Like what?” Bill asked.

    “You fix broken stuff,” Piper replied.

    “Repairing a broken toaster or steam iron is far different than unraveling a murder mystery," Bill said.”
    ― Ed Lynskey, The Corpse Wore Gingham
