"You're going to have a finite number of 'the cat', at best."

"I would have brought my dog Fido today, but I don't have a dog."

"It's so obvious, it's difficult to believe that I'm explaining it."

"If a guy tells you 'I'm a bachelor and I'm married', he's lying
 or he's confused."

"Linguists never hesitate about anything."

"At the end of the term, we'll spend some time talking about truth.
 Which is not to say that we'll spend the rest of the term talking
 about falsehood."

" 'John believes that the bachelor upstairs is made of cheese.'  I hope
 this sentence isn't too weird."
