1. People think that losing their luggage is the end of the world, but it's not.
2. Cruz is the alternative to Trump?  The Republican party has gone off the rails.
3. Bob Dylan is if anything underrated.
4. The death-rate among the prayed-for is the same as for the general population.
5. It's hard to give a rational account of the way people behave in the privacy of a voting booth.  (I think Barney Frank said this, though I can't verify it now, the candidates for inclusion at Websites devoted to his witticisms being too numerous.)
6. If Jesus Christ were to come back to Earth, and see all that is being done in His name, He wouldn't be able to stop throwing up.  (Frederick, the artist played by Max von Sydow, in Hannah and Her Sisters.  He's relating his thoughts to his live-in girlfriend after having spent a Sunday morning alone at home watching TV.)
7. In baseball, batters are striking out more than in olden times, which makes it less fun since the ball being in play adds interest.
8. People who compete in Ironman triathlons are apt to display obsessive compulsive traits in other areas of their lives.
9. The Catholic priesthood attracts men who aren't interested in marriage, their sexual proclivities lying elsewhere.  Similarly, people who enjoy carrying a gun and telling others what to do may be drawn to police work.
10. Only the end of the world is the end of the world.
