Interesting quote from Fred Thompson's TV Character
Saw the end of an old Law and Order last night right after the prosecution lost a case. There was grousing about the jury. In an effort to console his charges, Thompson's character said:

"The people who escape jury duty are the same people who escape active duty."

Wow, does anyone come to mind?

1. "It's never the noun, it's always the verb -- sell."
That's another good Freddie line.

And don't get me started on the whole white supremist Wiseguy arc.

2. A long, long time ago
I was news director at a small radio station. Every morning we had a staff meeting with the general manager. News was below the bottom of the list of priorities. Sales were at the top. He's always end every meeting by telling his sales people to "Sell like Hell." At that remark we knew the meeting was over.
