   "I was at a spa in Sonoma County, getting a massage, because sometimes
    that helps my insomnia, and I fell asleep. In my dream, I told the
    masseuse that I had to go to the bath- room and I'd be right back.  She
    asked me, 'Do you want me to leave the light on?' And I said, 'No.  You
    can leave the lights off. Because being in the dark equalizes us all.'"

				-- Singer Mariah Carey

Ross Perot." (Ira Lawson)

better to give than receive.  Especially when you're giving out pink slips."
(Premiere Radio)

Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt has opened a sex boutique on Sunset
Boulevard.  "It carries lingerie and features a full coffee bar.  A Hustler
coffee bar kind of gives new meaning to that term 'bottomless cup of
coffee.'" (Leno)

There's a new proposal in L.A. to fine people who don't show up for jury
duty.  They'd fine you $1500.  "It's probably the only city in the world
where they're harder on the jurors than they are on the criminals." (Leno)
