Actually mine, from two different stories I'm working on:
"I found these notes for a Harv and Vera novel in my father’s old mansion"
"'Damn pirates!'"

Apparently a very famous first line from a novel, according to the back cover of same...:
"I write this sitting at the kitchen sink"
(There's karma in it for the first person to say what the line should be, and which novel it's from )

That is SO not fair because I was totally going to post that but I didn't want to break the rules.

Humph.

Sheriff Joe seriously is my hero.

When people complained about putting inmates in tents, because the weather was so hot?

He had the most wonderful response.

Our servicemen have to live like this on a daily basis, they are over there serving our country.

Why should inmates of a jail have it any better?

Not his exact quote, but you get the idea.

Neither of us could remember who's turn it was to be passive or agressive, so we compromized, rolled over, and went to sleep.
