   "I wish we could concentrate on learning rather than constantly worrying about money or working to get by.
   
   "I think Tony Blair and Charles Clarke are encouraging a class divide, which is wrong and goes against all of Labour's principles."
5. In Social Policy in British universities, false dilemma logical fallacies are proper rhetoric for socialism:
   "I'm not willing to sacrifice my future for the sake of a part-time job, so I am faced with two choices—years in debt or prostituting myself on the internet for my education."

• It's like football with polearms. Heather got four choice tickets from her employer, so we brought along a co-worker from España. I like to boil things down succinctly to apt metaphors which don't require too much scrutiny. No, stop, don't closely compare hockey to soccer wherein the players carry halberds and attempt to decapitate each other. The National Hockey League is trying to get away from that image.
  
  
• You know, every time someone shoots the puck between the goaltender's legs, it's going five-hole, or sometimes when a commentator has a flash of cross-sport brilliance, the puck goes through the wickets. I prefer the puppy's gone home through the doggie door. How does that work for you?
