Sweet Dreams: “According to a study in Glamour magazine--this is something that men have always been accused of--women are twice as likely to fall asleep right after having sex than men.... See, there’s a reason for this. Do you know what it is? ... This is nature’s way of allowing men to sneak out before morning.” (Jay Leno)

Liar Liar: “The Professional Liars Tournament took place in Wisconsin.... Each contestant is judged on the originality of tall tales [and] the sincerity of flat-out lies.... First prize is 20 years in Congress.” (Argus Hamilton)

Career Transition: “Do you know what Al Gore is doing right now? Al Gore is now running the family restaurant in Tennessee....The man was this close to being the leader of the free world. Now he’s going, ‘Hey, you want fries with that?’” (Leno)
