Yesterday, I was amazed by a headline in TOI with a tinch of sarcasm and humor:
Indians want to go US and China wants to become US
one more which is always rolling on my tip of tongue and has become immortal to me is: (on George Bush)
You can take a man out of Texas, but can never take Texas out of the man
share more which you admire.

Poet John Donne was sent to jail by dodging by his wife Anne's father (since she was richer and too younger to John and he was against their wedlock). John wrote a letter to Anne from jail and the signature was:
John Donne-Anne Donne, Un-done.
