Women: âThe day I put âMs.â on a letter of mine, itâll be either to someone elseâs mistress or the Bureau of Msing Persons.â
Â
Children: âRemember, children are, no matter how much we detest them, the you and me of tomorrow.â
Â
Foreign Affairs: âEvery damn president since I can remember has been so in love with foreign policy that theyâre just like a schoolboy with a new girl.â
