Jeff-isms 

The words of Jeff Murdock

• "Your best friend is dead, but there's a bright side"
• "When we finally get our hands on the gear, let me tell you, it's not a drill. We're supposed to fly those babies the first time we get in them"
• "To know about the giggle loop, is to become part of the giggle loop"
• "Do you know what would be the best way to wipe out all of human kind if you were a space alien with a special kind of mind ray..?..make all women telepathic. Because if they suddenly found out about the kind of stuff that goes on in our heads they would kill us all on the spot. Men are not people - we are disgustoids in human form"
• "She's leaving the country...she doesn't speak English...I insulted her friend's breasts...and she thinks I collect women's ears in a bucket"
• "No you're not dead, you look, you look great. You're not decomposing or anything...I'm not just saying that"
• "I get very tense around apples... Well, I get very tense generally. I think I've fallen into the trap of blaming fruit."
• "Maybe women are completely different when we're not with them. Maybe they're not cross all the time."
