two quotes

Today, I ran across two quotes, both thought provoking, yet different in nature. The first I saw was on a bumper sticker while waiting at a red light:

" If you can read this, thank a teacher and if its in English, thank a soldier"

The second was actually on television. I was watching "How I Met Your Mother" (which is hilarious, by the way) and it was a scene involving two girls at thier neighborhood bar.

"Men are like the subway. you miss one and another comes along in five minutes. Unless its the end of the night and you just get on the first one that comes along"
