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.

I remember talking to John Mortimer, and he said he was relying on Rumpole to keep him in his old age; well, I'm doing the same with Phryne - she's my mainstay.

Had Rumsfeld said at any time 'get me a report on what's going on', he could have had it. You're right, it depends on choices that we make, which parts of the world we want to be in immediate contact with.

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

I'm a professor of national security studies, and I know a lot more about fighting than Rumsfeld does.

Did you know that, pound for pound, the moose is the leanest ruminant on Earth? It's true. Moose are very in tune with their natural surroundings.

To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware.

The mob taught me how to play gin rummy.

You just witnessed an old-fashioned rump kicking.

I don't like giving speeches - I enjoy sitting on my rump.
