Insomnia download of the day

If you ever wondered where the phrase "speak for yourself, John" came from, download this long boring poem from Librivox.

The Courtship of Miles Standish.


But as he warmed and glowed, in his simple and eloquent language,
Quite forgetful of self, and full of the praise of his rival,
Archly the maiden smiled, and, with eyes over-running with laughter,
Said, in a tremulous voice, "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?"
