“What time do you think you’ll be getting home tonight?” he asked. Margaret said she didn’t know. Spruance persisted. “Why is it so important?” asked Margaret. “Well,” replied her husband, “it’s not many women who can go to bed with a captain and wake up with an admiral.” Spruance’s clever way of announcing his promotion found its way into the local newspapers, to the amusement of his friends and colleagues. He was not amused.”
― Thomas B. Buell, The Quiet Warrior: A Biography of Admiral Raymond A. Spruance

“The entire universe, Mr. Under Secretary, is wildly unlikely to the point of ridiculousness. Therefore, we of Rargyll know that God is a humorist”

“A credit card is a leash around your neck. In the world of credit cards a person has no privacy…or at best protects her privacy only with great effort and much chicanery. Besides that, do you ever know what the computer network is doing when you poke your card into a slot? I don’t. I feel much safer with cash. I’ve never heard of anyone who had much luck arguing with a computer. It seems to me that credit cards are a curse. But I’m not human and probably lack the human viewpoint (in this as in so many, many other things).”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Friday
