Do you think someone with wandering eyes also has a wandering heart?
Oh yes I forgot to mention now that I’ve got your attention
I did not want you to see me this way.
Lyrics from Soul Asylum, Wandering Eyes

You don’t suppose we’re trying to break down the door
Without first trying the knob to see if it’s unlocked? Nahhh.

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
Quotation from George Carlin
This is my 400th Comic. Thank you for peeping, dear loyal Readers.
In 400, Goths were attacked by Huns. There were Franks in Holland, and rampaging Vandals.
400 is the square of 20. 400 is divisible by the sum of its own base 10 digits, making it a Harshad number.
In client error code, 400 ‘Bad Request’ means the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled.
400 was the serial number of the RMS Olympic, the Titanic’s sister ship.
Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.
Another Quotation from George Carlin
Salem bin Laden, Osama bin Laden’s oldest brother, was a founder of Arbusto Energy, an oil company owned by George W. Bush, who later became President of the United States. Salem died in a mysterious plane crash in Texas in 1988. Weird theories swirl around the relationships between the Bush and bin Ladens families, Arbusto Oil, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) and Paraguay.

There is no terror in a bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Quotation from Alfred Hitchcock
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
Poem by Maya Angelou, Still I Rise
We are all tourists in life. Even if we don’t go anywhere,
life comes to us. We learn as we go. Hopefully, we grow.

The finest clothing made is a person’s skin, but, of
course, society demands something more than this.
Quotation from Mark Twain
If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture,
let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies. It would
be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.
Quotation from Albert Einstein
Why does it matter what people wear? Our dress defines us as individuals and members
of society. It expresses who we are, to a some degree. When society mandates what is
acceptable to wear, it also limits full expression of a person’s individuality and creativity.

I have always dressed according to certain Basic Guy Fashion Rules, including: “Both of your socks should always be the same color.” Or they should at least both be fairly dark.
Quotation from Dave Barry
I hate being told what to do. I believe in free choice. If you don’t
like what others do, but they aren’t hurting you, learn to deal with it.

There can be no assumption that today’s majority is “right†and the Amish and others like them are “wrong.†A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.
Opinion by Warren Burger, Chief Justice, US Supreme Court
The lie of compulsory female heterosexuality today afflicts not just feminist scholarship, but every profession, every reference work, every curriculum, every organizing attempt, every relationship or conversation over which it hovers. It creates, specifically, a profound falseness, hypocrisy, and hysteria… in the queasy strobe light of that lie.
