Also, there's another one by him that goes: Ah, Yes, I wrote "The Purple Cow" I'm sorry now I wrote it But I can tell you anyhow I'll kill you if you quote it. Also, the quote about "Candy is dandy ... " is not from Nash, but I'm not sure who it's from. One from Nash however goes: The one L lama, he's a priest The two L llama, he's a beast And I will bet my silk pyjama There isn't any three L lllama.
