January's joke

A guy burned both of his ears... so they were asking him at the hospital how it happened. He said, `I was ironing my clothing and the phone rang... So, instead of the phone I picked up the iron and burned my ear...` `But how the heck did you burn the other ear?` The doctor asked. `They called back.`

January's idiom

Translate: Alive and kicking. Example: He is alive and kicking.

January's quote

There are people who appear in the magazines and I don't know who they are. I've never seen anything they've done and their careers are over already. They're famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers, I think, take a long time to unfold. Author: Matt Damon
