Madison's Inquiry:
        If you have to travel on the Titanic, why not go first class?

Madness takes its toll.

Magary's Principle:
        When there is a public outcry to cut deadwood and fat from any
        government bureaucracy, it is the deadwood and the fat that do
        the cutting, and the public's services are cut.

Magic is always the best solution -- especially reliable magic.

Magnetism, n.:  Something acting upon a magnet.

The two preceding definitions are condensed from the works of one
thousand eminent scientists, who have illuminated the subject with a
great white light, to the inexpressible advancement of human knowledge.

MAGNOCARTIC:
        Any automobile that, when left unattended, attracts shopping carts.
                -- "Sniglets", Rich Hall & Friends

magnocartic, adj:
        Any automobile that, when left unattended, attracts shopping

MAGPIE:
        A bird whose thievish disposition suggested
        to someone that it might be taught to talk.
                -- A. Bierce

MAIDEN AUNT:
        A girl who never had the sense to say "uncle."

Maiden, n:
        A young person of the unfair sex addicted to clewless conduct and
        views that madden to crime.  The genus has a wide geographical
        distribution, being found wherever sought and deplored wherever found.
        The maiden is not altogether unpleasing to the eye, nor (without her
        piano and her views) insupportable to the ear, though in respect to
        comeliness distinctly inferior to the rainbow, and, with regard to
        the part of her that is audible, beaten out of the field by the
        canary -- which, also, is more portable.

Male, n:
        A member of the unconsidered, or negligible sex.  The male of the
        human race is commonly known to the female as Mere Man.  The genus
        has two varieties:  good providers and bad providers.
                -- Ambrose Bierce
