    It’s so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don’t say it.

    What about this Danny Gokey guy on American Idol? Does he have a different pair of glasses for each day of the week?

    Dame Edna I can see being on the list, but the Queen? I'll bet that's the first and last list they will ever BOTH be on.
