Quote of the Day: NY Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly

"On behalf of the New York Police Department, I'm pleased to bring you the head of Dionysus."

Now that's an awesome quote. I love funny quotes. I would always keep a notebook of them when I was in school. I had one English teacher for Honors Brit Lit & then English AP. I didn't like her until AP though. I described it as, "Last year, Ms. Nich was a crazy, round little fake British woman who yells all the time. This year, Ms. Nich is the lovable crazy, round little fake British woman."

I compiled seven typed pages of quotes from her. When I graduated, I printed them out and gave a copy to her. She loved it and it got circulated around the English dept.

Some choice ones...
"Don't raise your hand. Put your head down. There that's better."
"A day of rest? What do you think this is? Creation?"
"Jackie (me), is it blasphemy or heresy, because you know I'm kinder towards the latter."

And this dialogue...
Nich: "Tell me if you see anything that isn't there."
Me: "I see a pink elephant"
Nich: "Is it a Republican elephant?"
Me: "No."
Nich: "Then, it's okay."

In two ways, apparently. :)

At least he has a sense of humor.
