Headquarters had even started an Employee of the Month scheme to show how much they cared. That was how much they didn't care. Terry Prachett
That's one of the first things that comes out of young people's mouths when they're in love. FOREVER. And that's cool, it's all good-until you get old enough to realize what forever is. Ice T
