Two vulgar, witty pop quotations

[Brenda Lester]

reminds me of a popular quote during the late '60s, early '70s, :

  if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

In a bag of junk I found an undated note scrawled long ago. Stratigraphic analysis of surrounding documents, note-card yellowing, and dim recollection tell me it must have been written between 1988 and 1991. I believe each witticism was on a T-shirt.

Google turns up numerous citations, with a few variants. These are obviously Yale material:

1. S-T-R-E-S-S / That confusion/ created when one's/ mind overrides/ the body's basic/ desire to choke the/ living shit out of/ some asshole who/ desperately needs it.

2. Bosses are like diapers,/ full of shit/ and on your ass all day.
