I noticed that there are no B batteries. I think that's to avoid confusion, cause if there were you wouldn't know if someone was stuttering. 'Yes, hello I'd like some b-batteries.' 'What kind?' 'B-batteries.' 'What kind?' 'B-batteries!' and D-batteries that's hard for foreigners. 'Yes, I would like de batteries.'
Demetri Martin, American Comedian (1973-  )

Peter McWilliams, American Writer (1949-2000)
We've got to stop focusing solely on the symptoms of crime, and start caring about the causes as well.
