Frying Pans Quotes

• FRYING-PAN, n. One part of the penal apparatus employed in that punitive institution, a woman's kitchen. The frying-pan was invented by Calvin, and by him used in cooking span-long infants that had died without baptism; and observing one day the horrible torment of a tramp who had incautiously pulled a fried babe from the waste-dump and devoured it, it occurred to the great divine to rob death of its terrors by introducing the frying-pan into every household in Geneva. Thence it spread to all corners of the world, and has been of invaluable assistance in the propagation of his sombre faith.

• Timing is everything. Chemistry is something that you don't just throw in the frying pan and mix it up with another something, then throw it on top of something, then fry it up and put it in a tortilla and put in a microwave, heat it up and give it to you and expect it to taste good. You know? For those of you who can cook, y'all know what I'm talking about. If y'all can't cook, this doesn't concern you.

• The other day Aks and I went up to your ranch for a day's fishing. I cannot remember any day when we have had more fun on a stream. We had along with us three newspaper men and a few secret service people, many of whom had never seen a trout stream, so we did the thing up right by borrowing frying pans, bacon and corn meal from the wife of your rancher - and we cooked an outdoor meal for the crowd. It was really quite a day.

• Algo se está desarrollando, se me está revelando. Veo que hay todo un mundo de chicas y sus acciones que desconocía y del que puedo formar parte sin ningún esfuerzo. No tengo que seguir el ritmo de nadie, correr tan rápido, apuntar tan bien, hacer ruidos explosivos, descifrar mensajes, morir en el momento justo. No tengo que pensar si hago estas cosas bien, tan bien como un chico. Sólo tengo que sentarme en el suelo y recortar sartenes del Catálogo de Eaton con unas tijeras de bordar, y decir que lo he hecho mal.
