Did you ever notice there&#8217;s always like 18% that say &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221; It costs 90 cents to call up and vote and they&#8217;re voting &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221; Honey, I feel very strongly about this. Give me the phone. (Says into phone) &#8220;I DON&#8217;T KNOW!&#8221; (Hangs up looking proud.) Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe you&#8217;re not sure about.&#8221; This guy probably calls up phone sex girls for $2.95 to say, I&#8217;m not in the mood.&#8221; <\/P><br \/>\n<P>Andy Rooney On Cripes: My wife&#8217;s from the Midwest. Very nice people there. Very wholesome. They use words like &#8216;Cripes&#8217;. &#8216;For Cripe&#8217;s sake.&#8217; Who would that be? Jesus Cripe&#8217;s? The son of &#8216;Gosh&#8217; of the church of &#8216;Holy Moly&#8217;? I&#8217;m not making fun of it. You think I wanna burn in &#8216;Heck&#8217;? <\/P><br \/>\n<P>Andy Rooney On Morning Differences: Men and women are different in the morning. We men wake up aroused in the morning. We can&#8217;t help it. We just wake up and we want you. And the women are thinking, &#8216;How can he want me the way I look in the morning?&#8217; It&#8217;s because we can&#8217;t see you. We have no blood anywhere near our optic nerve. <\/P><br \/>\n<P>Andy Rooney On Fabric Softener: My wife uses fabric softener. I never knew what that stuff was for. Then I noticed women coming up to me, sniffing, then saying under their breath, &#8220;Married!&#8221; and walking away. Fabric Softeners are how our wives mark their territory. We can take off the ring, but it&#8217;s hard to get that April fresh scent out of your clothes.&nbsp; <BR><\/P><br \/>\n<P>Laughter and Hugs,<BR>Me<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy Rooney on Vegetarians: &#8220;Vegetarian &#8211; that&#8217;s an old Indian word meaning &#8216;lousy hunter.&#8217;&#8221; Andy Rooney On Phone-In-Polls: You know those shows where people call in and vote on different issues?
