One Page Principle:
        A specification that will not fit on one page of 8.5x11 inch
paper cannot be understood.

"One planet is all you get."

One promising concept that I came up with right away was that you could
manufacture personal air bags, then get a law passed requiring that
they be installed on congressmen to keep them from taking trips.  Let's
say your congressman was trying to travel to Paris to do a fact-finding
study on how the French government handles diseases transmitted by
sherbet.  Just when he got to the plane, his mandatory air bag,
strapped around his waist, would inflate -- FWWAAAAAAPPPP -- thus
rendering him too large to fit through the plane door.  It could also
be rigged to inflate whenever the congressman proposed a law.  ("Mr.
Speaker, people ask me, why should October be designated as Cuticle
Inspection Month?  And I answer that FWWAAAAAAPPPP.") This would save
millions of dollars, so I have no doubt that the public would violently
support a law requiring airbags on congressmen.  The problem is that
your potential market is very small: there are only around 500 members
of Congress, and some of them, such as House Speaker "Tip" O'Neil, are
already too large to fit on normal aircraft.
                -- Dave Barry, "'Mister Mediocre' Restaurants"

One reason why George Washington

One seldom sees a monument to a committee.

One thing the inventors can't seem to get the bugs out of is fresh
paint.

"One thing they don't tell you about doing experimental physics is that
sometimes you must work under adverse conditions ... like a state of
sheer terror."
                -- W. K. Hartmann

One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a
new model.

One way to stop a runaway horse is to bet on him.

One, with God, is always a majority, but many a martyr has been burned
at the stake while the votes were being counted.
                -- Thomas B. Reed
