9. Older black ladies make the best ice tea.
I really didn't get the idea behind this one. May be in the show he had a thing for black ladies or it is just a fact. Feel free to comment about this quote.

3. You only get one chance at a first impression. I suggest Julia Child because it's easy to do. 'Save the giblets.'
Julia Child was a famous chef, author, and television personality. She made French cuisine accessible to American audiences and had a large impact on American households and housewives. There is a hilarious SNL skit on her named "The French Chef", you can check that out.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
