Quotes About Restraint

pulled into my convenient neighborhood fast food restaurant. I ordered shrimp salad, onion rings, and a beer. The shrimp were straight out of the freezer, the onion rings soggy.

Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.
