Behold the small-scale niftiness that is my quote list.

For you convenience, i've divided this into 2 sections. The first set are quotes from friends of mine. I warn you, however...These are taken almost exclusively from young adults, and our language isn't always the cleanest. The second set are quotes i've gotten from other sources-- songs, forwards, etc. I warn you with this set, though, that occasionally i throw in a sappier one just because it makes me happy. Read what you will.

In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more."

"We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways."

            --George Carlin (approximate)
