Quote Unquote - Only Dr House could say it

The African American aspiring football star is lying in the bed, his worried mother close by. House injects him with something. The patient reacts badly to the medication.

House: "You're turning white."

Mother: "What does that mean?"

House: "It means he doesn't need football to get a decent job anymore."

Later in the show:

House: "Do you know why you're black?"
Patient: "Because God loves me more than you"

I've only accidentally watched House, but from what I've seen, he pushes the PC boundaries a LOT. It's funny, though. I'll give him that.

Well he's English so he's the villain so he can say terrible things

The English are always the villains in TV and movies, right? OK, maybe not ALWAYS, but often. The advantage is that, if you have an English accent, you can PLAY the villain.

I said something nasty in a meeting the other day (not directed at any one person) and my colleague looked a bit confused.

"It's OK," I told him, "I'm English, I'm ALLOWED to be a Bitch."

He looked even more confused...

I'd never really thought of the English always playing the villain. Now I'm gonna have to pay attention! LOL

Oh, and the English don't have the market on bitches. One of my favorite quotes about myself is "I'm not a bitch, I'm THE bitch!". :-)

LOL, I've seen most of them, and I have to agree! I wonder, though, in English movies, does the American play the villain?
