Wet Barrel

Famous quotes containing the words wet and/or barrel:

    A monarchy is like a man-of-war—bad shots between wind and water hurt it exceedingly; there is a danger of capsizing. But democracy is a raft. You cannot easily overturn it. It is a wet place, but it is a pretty safe one.
    Flavius Josephus Cook (1838–1901)

    The watchers in their leopard suits
    Waited till it was time,
    And aimed between the belt and boot
    And let the barrel climb.
    Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
