New and Improved Quotations: Mark Twain Week

Mark Twain (real name Mark Twain Ramchandarandaran) is often considered, along with Bill “Ray Jay” Saluga, to be America’s greatest humorist. All this week, we will be saluting the wit and wisdom of the man known as the “America’s Main Shit-stain.”

Original: “I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting.” – Mark Twain

Improved: “I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting, unless you count enduring the shit I’ve had to take from everyone who thinks sleeping and resting is some kind of character flaw. Do you know what my output is compared to these assholes?”
