Out of the Mouth of Dr. Sexson

I thought that it would be fitting on this final day of blogging to include a few of my favorite Sexsonisms from the semester. So here they are, taken out of context so as to only make sense and/or be amusing to those present at the time:

"I'm the decider."

"You are all asses."

"We all come from a place where three roads meet, now don't we?"

These are some of my favorites; if you have others, you should leave a comment.

In All Things, Find Laughter

The gods too are fond of a joke. -Aristotle

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven. -Mark Twain
