We are awaiting a donor of a liver that will be a suitable match for my blood type, O positive, the most common type in this nation.
The other thing I wanted but never got to do had something to do with Liz Taylor but she's getting a little old and a little fat.
I went through high school, but I didn't graduate.
Breaks your heart when your son doesn't love you.
There's just no stopping me. I went through life big-bang-banda-boom-bada-boom.
Sometimes I keep a car for only a week or two. I like the newest and the flashiest.
Nothing's worse than a guy who loses fair and square and then whines about it.
I'm not only the best-known daredevil on the face of the earth, I'm the oldest.
I play golf five days a week. I find that if I play seven days a week, I get stale.
You can be famous for a lot of things. You can be a Nobel-prize winner. You can be the fattest guy in the world.

I am not, never have been, and never will be a politician. But I want to tell you the United States has always been proud of having the support of the United Kingdom, of keeping Britain in Europe. We need Britain in Europe.
My grandpa got me a set of Wilson clubs, Sam Snead models, when I was 12. Many years later, when I'd become well known, I got to know Sam, and we played a lot of golf together.
