Here is an excerpt from Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech!.

"All of you chose to support a candidate you believe in deeply!. But at the end of the day, we aren't the reason you came out and waited in lines that stretched block after block to make your voice heard!. You didn't do that because of me or Senator Clinton or anyone else!. You did it because you know in your hearts that at this moment - a moment that will define a generation - we cannot afford to keep doing what we've been doing!. We owe our children a better future!. We owe our country a better future!. And for all those who dream of that future tonight, I say - let us begin the work together!. Let us unite in common effort to chart a new course for America!."





Here is an excerpt from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland:

"[Angrily] Why, how impolite of him!. I asked him a civil question, and he pretended not to hear me!. That's not at all nice!. [Calling after him] I say, Mr!. White Rabbit, where are you going!? Hmmm!. He won't answer me!. And I do so want to know what he is late for!. I wonder if I might follow him!. Why not!? There's no rule that I mayn't go where I please!. I--I will follow him!. Wait for me, Mr!. White Rabbit!. I'm coming, too! [Falling] How curious!. I never realized that rabbit holes were so dark !. !. !. and so long !. !. !. and so empty!. I believe I have been falling for five minutes, and I still can't see the bottom! Hmph! After such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling downstairs!. How brave they'll all think me at home!. Why, I wouldn't say anything about it even if I fell off the top of the house! I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time!. I must be getting somewhere near the center of the earth!. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny that would be!. Oh, I think I see the bottom!. Yes, I'm sure I see the bottom!. I shall hit the bottom, hit it very hard, and oh, how it will hurt!"






And here is one from S-M-I-L-E

"Good evening, Mrs!. Audience,
And Mr!. Audience, too;
I hope you're glad to see me,
And will like me 'fore I'm through!.
I'm here to bid you welcome,
I'm sure I like your style;
We'll soon become right friendly
If you will only smile!.

I'll try to entertain you
With monologue and rhyme--
But if you won't assist me
We'll have a dreadful time!.
The world is full of worry,
Let's forget it for a while,
And take a trip to Funland--
So stretch your mouth and smile!.

Some speakers talk of trouble,
Of pessimistic creeds,
But just an S-M-I-L-E [spell]
Is all the old world needs!.
Be gay, enthusiastic,
And cheerful all the while,
Forget your gloom and worries,
And smile, smile, smile!

And now the ice is broken,
We're friends, that's how it stands,
And if you feel as I do,
You'll tell me with your hands, [Pantomimes applause]
With song and jest and story,
I shall an hour beguile;
I'll do my best to please you,
If you'll smile, smile, smile! "

Think about it!.!.!.I'm supposed to wash my face BEFORE I exercise to prevent build-up!. No, I'm supposed to wash my face AFTER I exercise to prevent break-outs!. I'm NOT SUPPOSED to eat chocolate because it causes pimples!. Wait, I'm SUPPOSED to eat chocolate before I take a test, because it's great, "brain food!." I'm SUPPOSED to have lots of foods that are rich in iron to help my circulation!. Hold on, now, I'm NOT SUPPOSED to have a lot of iron because it prevents my body from absorbing calcium properly!. Wow, if I can survive being a confused teenager, I think I can pretty much survive anything! (Change of heart) Let's get out of here, I'm hungry! "
