Television’s just too easy.” ― John Wayne

25. “The hyphenated American is ridiculous. But that’s what we have to put up with. I think that any person that’s in the United States is better off here than they would be where they came from.” ― John Wayne

My dad loved that guy. In a manly way, hahaha. But John Wayne did a picture at Los Alamos testing range. The result, he died of cancer which was probably the culprit.

Yeah, 4 and 10. are funny too.

I like number 6....today it may fit more in calling someone on B.S. but only if you have an alternative to their statement or proposal. Number 25 should be high on everyone's list as I am an American first that just so happens to be from Irish decent. No hyphens for me.
