Because one of my Christmas Dinner guests had an allergic reaction to something in last year's Christmas crackers, and his hands swelled up like lobster claws, I am making this year's table novelties myself. I probably shouldn't mention here what's going in them, just in case it spoils the surprise. Lets just say that in addition to being a packrat, I know where to find good quotes. From the shortlist:
"Most people would like to be delivered from temptation but would like it to keep in touch." - Robert Orben
"A good listener is a good talker with a sore throat." - Katharine Whitehorn
"A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold." - Ogden Nash
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." - Albert Einstein
"Never eat more than you can lift." - Miss Piggy... and
"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." - Herm Albright

I love Miss Piggy.
Yes, she rocks :^)
Do you realize how often my many sisters tell me I remind them of Miss Piggy?
I don't know if it's the cleavage, the unbridled yelling, or the appetite, but the celebrity I remind them of the most is a pig puppet. A puppet of a pig.
On their more charitable days they say I remind them of Kate Winslet. But you know? I think Miss Piggy is actually more accurate.
Perhaps it's a hereditary thing because I myself have a long history of excellence in muppet imitation...
