"Won't you pour me a Cuban Breeze, Gretchen..."Donald Fagen, 'The Goodbye Look' from the album The Nightfly "He took his eyes off the hatless girl with the dark hair, cut dancer-style, like a helmet, who was walking past him with the self-conscious strength and grace dancers have. She was walking without a coat and she looked very solid and strong and her belly was flat, like a boy's, under her skirt, and her hips swung boldly because she was a dancer and also because she knew Michael was looking at her. She smiled a little to herself as she went past and Michael noticed all these things before he looked back at his wife". Irwin Shaw from Girls in Their Summer Dresses "Frankly, I don't think you could have driven a needle up my sphincter using a sledgehammer." Col. Barry Horne, F-117 pilot, on first mission over Baghdad |
