It’s been a hell of a war! 

A expression one can either yell or speak with a quiet dignity to comrades when advancing towards almost certain death. This saying moved from insider military slang into popular consciousness through Hollywood’s portrayal of Vietnam era battles that foreground moments of suicidal bravado.
Gentlemen, we are outnumbered and almost out of ammo; It’s going to go hand to hand. It’s been a pleasure serving with you; and: it’s been a hell of a war!
It’s been a hell of a war! mug front
Get the It’s been a hell of a war! mug.

Clarke’s Third Law 

Clarke’s Third Law is probably the best known and most widely cited of the three and states that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Just as an aside the others are:
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
As far as that Malcolm is concerned just about any technology conforms to Clarke’s Third Law.

Malcolm’s Law 

Very similar to Murphy’s Law or Sod’s Law, but with one important difference. Instead of “if something can go wrong it will do”, it now becomes ”with a Malcolm on the project it won’t just go wrong, but it will go wrong in the worst possible way.” See also Finagle’s Law.
“It’s a total disaster; there is no way that it could possibly have happened!”
With that Heale Malcolm involved what did you expect? It’s Malcolm’s Law, mate.”

People's freedom of choices and voices act

A legal statute in Canada that affords a defendants ability to a fair trial. With the invocation of it, defendants are allowed to express themselves at a court level to avoid a mistrial. Some of the most common rights granted by this act are the abilities to smoke and swear in court
Ricky: "Your majesty, I would like to make a request under the People's freedom of choices and voices act that I be able to smoke and swear in your court. If I can't smoke and swear in your court, I can't represent myself at a court level and that's a fuckin' mistrial!"

Judge: "Richard, you have permission to smoke and swear in my courtroom, but please be advised, this is not a carnival."

It’s 10 PM; do you know where your children are? 

It’s 10 PM; do you know where your children are? — This was a regional program bumper / public service announcement from the late 1960’s through to the late 1980’s. In some regions, there was an 11 PM variant. This was sometimes the lead in to news programs. But best of all, it was NIGHTMARE FUEL for some of the best childhood ghost stories and URBAN MYTHS that kept a kid awake at night after scary stories were inappropriately told to them by mischievous baby sitters.

No mommy, this never happened to me…honest!!!!!!! Nor, was I ever the perpetrator of telling such a tale.
…And then while the mom was watching t.v., a man came on the screen and said, “It’s 10 PM; do you know where your children are?”. A shiver went down the mother’s spine so she went to check on her kids. When she opens the door there was a man standing over her children's dead bodies holding a bloody butcher knife. AND HE WAS WEARING A BUNNY SUIT
