May 2016

where Merk's dad had a heart attack and he was lying there in the hospital and says

"You know when you come close to death you look back at your life and all the mistakes you've made."

and Mark says

"That's how you grow. You will be a better person for having faced up to those mistakes."

he says

"I suppose you are right."

"But do you realize I could have bought Xerox at 8 and a quarter?"

another one from way back, University students were listing their demands and they asked Notre Dame what their demand was and the reply was "more football games".
