I learned something about myself today.
As I was reading over some quotes by Douglas Adams, I stumbled across a quote of his about the reason his books have so many great one-liners. He attributed that to his giant nose and recurring allergic condition, claiming that any thought that didn't come to fruition in about fifteen seconds would be forever dashed from his brain by violent sneezes.

Now, when I read this, I realized that I also tend to think in one-liners. In my case, it wasn't so much because of allergies. It's becua... crap, I forgot what I was going to say. But I think that was the point.
