- "A bright red mini-dress! You really have tons of confidence in your inner beauty."
- "You really make me feel intelligent -- especially when you talk."
- "Look at how much weight you've lost! That dress didn't fit you nearly as well at that last wedding you wore it to."
- "Not only do you dance surprisingly well, you *smell* better than most ugly chicks."
- "Great sermon, Father! That loud part at the end was a real wake-up call!"
- "Wow! For a first-time sexual encounter, that was refreshingly speedy!"
- "Now, now, it's just as important to stay behind and guard the women and children."
- "It's nice that you can wear tight jeans without that unsightly bulge in the crotch that most men have."
- "I've never seen a man chug so many chardonnays."
- "No, really -- compared to Grenada, Afghanistan and Somalia, you Iraqi Army guys kick *ass.*"
- "What I like about your toupee is it says, 'Hey, I have better things to spend my money on!'"
