Quotes and taglines

[sharpenu]

I have noticed a few people sporting humourous taglines in their posts. What are some funny ones you have seen? For example:

"I drank WHAT?" ~ Socrates

"How was the play, Mrs Lincoln?"

How about some others?

[joewr]

I love to quote! If you read my posts, you will see that I quote with some irregularity...

I have just wanted someone to quote me...

That said, I must quote one of my favorite souls from the past, Benjamin Disraeli:

"Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours."

or

"My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me."

Then, of course, there is Yogi Berra:

"The future ain't what it used to be."

or

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

or

"You gotta be very careful if you don't know where you're going because you might not get there."

or

"I am not goin' to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school the way I did."

and, finally,

"I don't wanna make the wrong mistake"


Which I may have just made...

Joewr...who did not include WC Fields, HL Mencken, Mae West or Groucho Marx...or Harpo (beep, beep, honk)...

TexasMike,

That is one of Groucho's "cleaner" quotes!

Another somewhat less something or other...

"Here's to our girlfriends and wives! May they never meet!"

also,

"He acts like an idiot. He talks like an idiot. But don't let that fool you: he is an idiot!"

Joewr...don't get me started...

Okay, GrandPa......:)

"I once shot an elephant in my pajamas...."


"My name is Raymond Jay Johnson, Jr."

Now, you can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Ray Jay, or you can call me R. Jay, or you can call me R. Jay Jay, or you can call me Junior.

But you doesn't have to call me Johnson.

Texas Mike: a corollary to your dyslexic line: Did you hear about the dyslexic, insomniac agnostic? He lay awake all night wondering if there is a Dog?

From Mark Twain; "As I get older, I find that I can remember everything...whether it happened or not." (Editor's note: the three periods may not have been in the original...but I like them anyway.)

From Satchel Paige, one of the 20th century's great philosophers: "Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits."

Remember the the Groucho Marxx show? Remember the time Groucho had a husband and wife along with their 27 children as guests on his show? Keep in mind that this man had fathered, and this lady had given birth to all of them. Groucho asked the man "Sir why did you have so many children?" The man replied,"Because I love my wife" Groucho replied to the man,"I love my cigar to, but I take it out of my mouth occasionally!":tease: I was to young to understand why that was so funny and Dad didn't seem to want to explain it... :tree:Bob

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

"I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know."

CheeseWhiz,

Your comment on an "insomniac" reminds me of what my grandmother used to say, "That is like telling an insomniac that insomnia is nothing to lose any sleep over."

And, as long as I am a Regulator, there will never be any penalty for using three dots as a form of expression or punctuation...and, to quote Mrs. Slocum, "I am unanimous in that!"....

Joewr...imagine someone being upset by CheeseWhiz using three dots...impossible...

PS. Walter, you wrote:

"I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know."

Yup! And as Harpo would have said, placing the back of his knee in someone's hand, "Honk, honk, honk, beep, beep!"
