This work is a torture on the rump but a joy to the heart.

Ruminants are a perfectly normal thing to possess when you live in upstate New York. It's just moving scenery. It's kind of like the equivalent of Great Danes. It's the way you keep your grass mowed. It's the way you keep your weed-whacking to a minimum.

The mob taught me how to play gin rummy.

I can't say that I've ever actually got on a horse and roped a cow, no.

There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.

I'm not fond of kicking a man when he's down.

Kickboxing tightens you up.
