GILBERT GOTTFRIED : ASSORTED THINGS
Okay, let's start. I'm mad as hell at the following:

1. Alan Alda for calling himself a feminist. It makes me puke. I'd gain
tremendous respect for him if he called himself a faggot.

2. Women who take offense at terms like dame, girl, broad, or chick. The other day I was at a party and I saw Gloria Steinem.
I asked her, "What do you like to be called - Miss, Mrs., or Ms.?"
" I don't know,she giggled. "Just call me cunt" We've been
dating ever since. Which reminds me of a wonderful, charming old
story by Dostoyevsky: A blind man is walking down the street. He
passes the Fulton Fish Market and yells, "Hello, girls!"

3. The Amish. That's right, the Amish - who do they think they are? They
don't drink, fornicate, or use the phone. Sure they don't use the
phone. What would they say to each other. "Gee, my beard looks
f#cking great!" or 'Let's get together and not drink and not get
laid!" So f#ck the Amish! There, I said it and I'm glad.

4. People who talk to me knowing full well they have a big whitehead
on the tip of their nose.

5. People who talk to me knowing full well I have a big whitehead
on the tip of my nose.

6. People who talk to me.
