“I’d never think about a girl being smart. If you told me a girl was smart, I would often think she’s not attractive.”
“They want to go through that freaking Passover all the time. . . . Get over the Passover. It was like 3,000 years ago. Okay, the Red Sea parted. Big deal. Not the first time that happened.”
—Rudolph Giuliani in audio recordings.

He was tall, though, so I decided his insides could probably cope.
