I’d rather go peal carrots with a spoon. (Steele)

They never have to prove themselves.

The Iranians are quite willing to keep on negotiating on that line for a long time.

• I'll quit eating meat when you get a cow out here to beat me at a poetry slam. Only so many words rhyme with 'Mooo.'

It's because of these [holding out thumbs]...Maybe you think that carrots are less important than cows. I think they're equal, especially in a sauce.
