This Week's Quote: "At some point, during every stage show I do, I take a sip of water and ask the audience, 'How's the water here?' I haven't gotten a positive response yet. Not one. Nobody trusts their water supply. Nobody. And that amuses me. Because it means the system is beginning to collapse...I'm glad the water sucks." —George Carlin
