Neck Joint

Famous quotes containing the words neck and/or joint:

    And graven with diamonds in letters plain

    “Noli me tangere for Caesar’s I am,
    And wild for to hold though I seem tame.”

    Your letter of excuses has arrived. I receive the letter but do not admit the excuses except in courtesy, as when a man treads on your toes and begs your pardon—the pardon is granted, but the joint aches, especially if there is a corn upon it.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
