Sheep Boy Appendix

Famous quotes containing the words sheep, boy and/or appendix:

    The mountain sheep are sweeter,
    But the valley sheep are fatter;
    We therefore deemed it meeter
    To carry off the latter.
    Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)

    Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed
    Droops on the little hands, little gold head;
    Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!
    Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
    —A.A. (Alan Alexander)

    I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another’s company and aid in consultation. A doctor who cannot take out your appendix properly will recommend you to a doctor who will be unable to remove your tonsils with success.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
