Quote of the Day (John Oliver, on What He Misses Most About England)

“Seeing the queen’s face whenever you try to pay for your groceries. That’s because her face is on our money, not because she works at a supermarket cash register.”— John Oliver, Daily Show correspondent (and summer replacement for Jon Stewart), on what he misses most about England, quoted in “Oliver’sTwist,” The Washingtonian, November 2013
