New and Improved Quotations: Mark Twain Week

Mark Twain (real name Floyd Gormp) is often considered, along with Clarence “Blowfly” Reid, to be America’s greatest humorist. All this week, we will be saluting the wit and wisdom of the man known as “Der Olt Funnyfeller.”

Original: “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”

Improved: “A man cannot be comfortable without his own fancy electric buttplug. Or, at least, I can’t be comfortable without one.”
