"To you it's a mess, to me it's a wilderness of free association. Don't ever straighten up my desk Mason, I'd never be able to find anything. I've always been suspicious of neatness. If there is nothing on top of a man's desk, he probably shoved all the clutter in the drawers and if his drawers are empty, what the hell does he need a desk for?"
- From the 1981 movie, First Monday in October, after Justice Dan Snow (Walter Matthau) was called out for his messy desk

Hear, hear...
A husband notices his wife’s hearing is deteriorating and decides to visit her doctor for advice.
“I can’t mention it to my wife directly because she might find it offensive, given our old age,” he says to the doc.
“There’s a simple trick you can try to determine her hearing” explains the doctor. “Simply ask her a question at a distance and if she doesn’t hear you, move slightly closer and ask again until she does”.
That night, the husband arrives home and sees his wife in the kitchen cooking. He thinks to himself, “What a perfect opportunity to test her hearing!”
He stands in the doorway of the kitchen and promptly asks;
“What’s for dinner honey?”
No answer. He moves closer.
“What’s for dinner honey?”
Still no answer. He moves even closer.
“What’s for dinner honey?”
Still his wife doesn’t answer. He now sees how serious her hearing problem is. At this point, he is stood right next to his wife.
“What’s for dinner honey?”
The wife finally says,
“FOR THE FOURTH TIME,
WE’RE HAVING CHICKEN!”
