The World according to Alfred.

Alfred E. Newman, a make believe cartoon character invented to say funny things and make us laugh. Here are a few of his quotes;
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
We are living in a world todaywhere lemonade is made from artificial flavoring and furniture polish is made from real lemons...
America; first we fight for our freedom, then we make laws to take it away.
Most people don't act stupid: it's the real thing!
The reason many people are lost in thought is because its unfamiliar territory!
How come we choose from just 2 people for president and 50 for Miss America?
Who says nothing is impossible? Some people do it every day!
Blood is thicker than water...but it makes lousy lemonade!
What, Me worry?

Alfred E. Neuman is the feature character of Mad Magazine, and is a copyright of Warner Brothers.

Language Loss?
