“And those three sisters, three little sisters,
They stayed home and read their magazines,
And you can tell it to the army, tell it to the navy,
And tell it to the marines.”

“There were three sisters, three little sisters,
And each one was only in her teens,
And one loved a soldier, and one loved a sailor,
And one loved a man from the marines.”

“If you can't tell your sister,
If you can't tell a priest,
'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it
To anyone,
Can you tell it to your heart?
Can you find it in your heart
To let go of these feelings…”

Kate Bush (1958) British recording artist; singer, songwriter, musician and record producer

“Well, I'll tell you a little bit about myself, uh, my brother's a doctor and my sister's an attorney, and I hate Thanksgiving. Last year, we're sitting around the dining room table, and my brother tells a story about all the neat lives he's saved. My sister tells a story about winning a lawsuit for an orphanage to help the children. Then my mom goes, (archly) "Well, Ron? Is there anything new with your career?" And I go, "Yeah! I got a new bit about sticking my pecker in a toaster!"”

Ron White (1956) American comedian
