QOD

This blog purely for my own amusement. I like to start the day with a quote, be it amusing, inspiration, or simply something that caught my fancy.

On occasion, I might also include some commentary on the day's crossword puzzle that is published in the Los Angeles Times.

QOD:  My view is quite simple.  When your dog pees on the carpet, you do not give your dog away.  You say: This dog is special.  I have to teach him not to pee on the carpet.  I feel exactly the same way about men.  They need to be taught things.  ~  Jacqueline Bisset (née Winifred Jacqueline Fraser Bisset; b. Sept. 13, 1944)
