For the poster, I have but one quote:

       Marriage means commitment. Of course, so does insanity.

    Given your sense of sanity, I think if you ever get hitched, your future wife would surely have a lot of fun with you... hahaha....

  2. Sometimes, sanity is but a delusion of your true insanity... Which are you???

  3. Ah, a song from Billy Joel comes to mind:

    Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
    And you told me not to drive
    But I made it home alive
    So you said that only proves that I'm insane

    You may be right
    I may be crazy
    But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
    Turn out the light
    Don't try to save me
    You may be wrong for all I know
    But you may be right

    Remember how I found you you there
    Alone in your electric chair
    I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
    You were lonely for a man
    I said take me as I am
    'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while


    :-P
