Gentlemen, you seem to have forgotten that our chosen career is politics.

"Euclid's first common notion is this:
Things which are equal to the same things are equal to each other.
That's a rule of mathematical reasoning and its true because it works
- has done and always will do.
In his book Euclid says this is self evident.
You see there it is even in that 2000 year old book of mechanical law
it is the self evident truth that things which are equal to the same things
are equal to each other."
Abraham Lincoln

"...the Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen 'had occasion to visit England,'
where he was subject to considerable teasing banter.
The British would make "fun of the Americans and General Washington in particular
and one day they got a picture of General Washington"
and displayed it prominently in the water closet so Mr. Allen could not miss it.
When he made no mention of it,
they finally asked him "Didn't you see George Washington in there?" they said.
"Oh yes," said Allen. "Perfectly appropriate place for him" "
What do you mean?" They said.
"Well," he said, "there is nothing to make an Englishman shit faster
than the sight of General George Washington."
Abraham Lincoln
I could write shorter sermons but when I get started I'm too lazy to stop.
