Quote by Mitch Hedberg

Summary

This quote humorously highlights the absurdity of being told to move from a fire exit in a casino. The speaker sarcastically reasons that if they are flammable and capable of running, they would not be obstructing anyone's exit during a fire. It undermines the idea that one person's physical presence could impede the escape route in the face of such a dangerous situation, emphasizing the priority of personal safety over trivial concerns like blocking an exit.

Patriotism is a lively sense of collective responsibility. Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on its own dunghill and calling for larger spurs and brighter beaks. I fear that nationalism is one of England's many spurious gifts to the world.
