I'll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They're too much fun.
Hotter 'n hell, ain't it, Prez?

I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
