Hedwig, of the Angry Inch  

On an entirely (or perhaps not) different note, the University of Chicago Divinity School Café has this great saying posted above the condiment tray, designed to keep paperhogs diners from walking away with environmentally un-friendly quantities of unbleached recycled napkins:

"No matter how many napkins you take, your life will still be a mess.
Please take only one or two."
