Quotable quote

From a comment on a LWN article:

Priceless...

I was driving home from the gym this morning when I heard on the radio about how our very own Miss Universe, Jennifer Hawkins, had a rather embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, stepping on her dress and pulling it off, revealing her G-string clad arse. Cracked me up.
