Summary

This humorous quote by American comedian Steven Wright depicts an anecdotal situation where the speaker is fishing with the famous Spanish surrealist artist, Salvador Dali. The use of a dotted line in fishing is unconventional and seemingly absurd, but the quote suggests that Dali's unconventional approach was oddly successful. By catching "every other fish," the quote highlights both the unexpected nature of Dali's actions and his ability to achieve remarkable outcomes through his unique perspective and unconventional methods. It serves as a playful and lighthearted observation on the eccentricity and creative genius often associated with Salvador Dali.

I see Americans of every party, every background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together: black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American; young, old; gay, straight; men, women, folks with disabilities, all pledging allegiance under the same proud flag to this big, bold country that we love. That's what I see. That's the America I know!

Obviously, our children, who have been playing with their computers since the age of five or six, don't have quite the same brain as those who were brought up on wooden or metal toys, whose brains are certainly atrophied by comparison.
