#1 And then that miracle of grace [forgiveness], like a spiritual WD-40, that gets into the very stuck, grinding places inside of us.

WD-40 evaporates. I wonder if she knew ?

I didn't, Besoeker, so probably no.

#4 According to Wikipedia, only the volatile hydrocarbon evaporates, leaving the lubricating oil behind.

#6 WD-40 is good for loosening fasteners and a quick lube, but I don't use it for long term lubrication due to evaporation. Right tool, right application, etc.

#7 Like a bad episode of Whose Line is It?

OK, you are a special snowflake. You are going to blame the Tea Party for everything, and your prop is this can of WD-40.

#9 "For me as a Jew, it's "God helps those who help themselves" and "The Covenant is not a suicide pact." Then, too, I didn't spend my twenties drinking instead of growing up, and I didn't waste my child's childhood venting my spleen at the imperfections of others. Perhaps it isn't Christianity that's your problem, dear."

TW wins! I wanna be just like you when I grow up, dear. :-D

#11 Geeze, what a nasty, bigoted small-minded scrunt. (Remind self - avoid purchasing any of her books. Also, avoid anything to do with middle-aged white women who do their hair in those nasty-looking mini-dreads.)

#12 "Lamont, you big dummy!" said Redd Foxx.
"You're dumb as that big box of pet rocks!"
"Be cool, Pop, don't worry;
They'll sell in a hurry
To crazy white ladies with dreadlocks."

#13 At Miss Lamont's School of Forgiveness,
To stick to one's guns would be witless:
Her lovely tea parties
Are only for smarties
Who'd stab Baggers' eyes with a quickness.

#14 I knew an old man who used it as a tapping fluid.
