    F*#%k him if he can't take a joke.

    If ___ can't fix it, it ain't broke.

    How old is he? When he was born, the Dead Sea wasn't even sick yet.

    We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

    Aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda.

    BTW, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" was the motto of a farmer I worked for in my younger days. Most of the neighboring farmers lived by that one. Also, when we were building fence to keep the cows in, if it was not quite straight, he'd say: "It's good enough for who it's for."

    Not a favorite quote but a memorable one. I was in the office of CEO of our Inc 500 company, when he got news of a lawsuit against the company.

    "Well, f*ck the f*ckin' f*ckers."

    (We prevailed.)

    One of my favorites is from the movie "Warlord", starring Charlton Heston. In the film, Heston's onscreen brother portrayed by Guy Stockwell, is surveying the scene of their desolate new home.
    He remarks, "We are on the road to nowhere and we have arrived".

    A classic...

    One of my all time favorite lines is from Will Rogers when he was asked why he was no longer running for congress.

    "If I'm in congress, every time I make a joke, it becomes law, - and visa versa."

    I think I would be an obnoxious motorcyclist and probably get myself into a ton of trouble. My Prius helps me to be a better driver (ie; nicer..)

    Technically (as a nurse) ice would be rather soothing to an itchy condition :rolleyes:

    Work has really gotten in the way of my PC time lately, I am way behind (just a gripe, not a quote)

    I have a magnet on my overhead area at my desk:
    If everyone is thinking alike then someone isn't thinking
    - Gen. George Patton

    It shows a nude man walking away and a fully dressed man walking towards the camera. In passing, they are looking at each other with that same expression, "what's your problem?"
