"How's the world treating you?"  His answer was, "Like a dog treats a fire

It's the title of a book by Vine Deloria, Jr. Published in 1969.
In it he says:

"Some years ago we put out a bumper sticker which read 'Custer Died
For Your Sins.' It was originally meant as a dig at the National
Council of Churches...Originally [it] referred to the Sioux Treaty
of 1868 signed at Ft. Laramie in which the United States pledged to
give free and undisturbed use of the lands claimed by Red Cloud in 
return for peace. Under the covenants of the Old Testament, breaking
a covenant called for a blood sacrifice for atonement. Custer was
the blood sacrifice for the United States breaking the Sioux treaty."

One of my favourites goes something like this....

	If I am wrong then the French will say that I am a German
	and the Germans will say that I am a Jew. Ah, but if I am
	right then the Germans will say that I am a German and the
	French will say that I am a Jew.

( I might have the order backwards here. )

   The play seems to be recording a real-life discussion, BTW.
   Mephisto (Pauli) tries to convince Faust of the existence of

   F: "But the charge?"
   M: "We'll get rid of that."
   F: "But the mass?"
   M: "We'll get rid of that too."
   F: "But what will then be left?"
   M: "The neutron!"

Are you sure they're talking of the neutron? This sounds suspiciously like
a neutrino.
