Andy Rooney Samples
The Best of Andy Rooney: Squeeze, twist and pull just doesn't work
The tops of jars and bottles are too hard to take off. Something as simple as the twist-off cap on a bottle of soda is often impossible to remove with your bare hands.
The Best of Andy Rooney: A perfect 10 is the number of our dreams
The best colleges are faced with a dilemma every year: They need a lot of freshmen to pay for their buildings and teachers, but they have to keep the place hard to get into if they want good students.
The Best of Andy Rooney: Too much bigness is no small matter
We may have gone far enough with bigger. I don't mean to start a religious argument, but it wouldn't do the world any harm at all if we called a halt to the expansion of everything.
The Best of Andy Rooney: Everything is coming up 'awesome'
There's so much competition for our attention that everyone is using up all our good superlatives to get it. I say "using up" because there's just so often you can use a superlative before it loses its comparative effectiveness.
The Best of Andy Rooney: Parking spaces are another endangered species
A lot of people who know how to drive don't seem to know how to park. There are drivers who can put a 19-foot car in a 20-foot space on the first try.
The Best of Andy Rooney: 50 stories you'll be reading this coming year
There's a theory in the news business that there are only so many stories. 1. Holiday travel, crowded airport, road traffic. 2. Stores are doing better/worse than usual at Christmas with sales up/down.
