Famous quotes containing the words gun and/or truck:
“We got our new rifled muskets this morning. They are mostly old muskets, many of them used, altered from flint-lock to percussion ... but the power of the gun was fully as great as represented. The ball at one-fourth mile passed through the largest rails; at one-half mile almost the same.... I think it an excellent arm.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“If an Englishman gets run down by a truck he apologizes to the truck.”
—Jackie Mason (b. 1931)
