    Hehe! There have been loads more uplaods on Youtube lately including that classic documentary from 79 (with that legendary saying!). In fact that is what I took the above quote from!

    "you only fall off one of these once"

    Not a famous quote, probably not really a quote but it that amused me non the less...last night I was getting directions from my friends housemate to the chinese take away, I was driving (dangerous I know) and he was in the passenger seat.

    Me: 'Shall I go left or right?'
    Him: 'Yes'
    Ride it like you stole it!

    On the theme of giving directions, my missus some years ago:

    Her: 'go right, no, no, no the other right'

    Me: 'that'd be left then.'
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    One of the guys I work with is a *bit* mince... When he was told there was an easier way (by far!!) of doing the job he was on, he replied "I'll do it the hard way bud, it's easier"...

    But then, we do call him dum-dum. A bit harsh, but man, he's mince...

    My favourites, it's not a quote, well sort off:

    The 6th Day - the movie
    Adam: "You should clone yourself while your still alive."
    Drucker: "So I can understand your unique perspective?"
    Adam: "No. So you can go Fuck Yourself!"

    Later: "When I said you should screw yourself. I didn't mean it literally."
    :lol:

    and this:

    True Lies - the movie
    Salim: "Do you know what this is?"
    Harry: "I know what this is.. it's an espresso machine... no no no.. it's a snow-cone maker.. is it a WATER heater?"
    :lol:

    Here's a few for you!!!!


    "When I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is." **

    “If I feel depressed I will sing. If I feel sad I will laugh. If I feel ill I will double my labor. If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come. If I feel incompetent I will think of past success. If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals. Today I will be the master of my emotions.” **

    "someone (preferably me) needs to grab you and hold you close and let you know life is filled with danger and someone (me) will pull you through safely"

    "I would love to lend you money but someone stole my money tree from the garden when I was out"


    ** are not mine but can't remember where they originated from

    The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

    Nancy Astor (to Churchill): If I were your wife I would put poison in your coffee!
    Churchill: And if I were your husband I would drink it.

    Woman on a train noticed Churchill's fly was open: "Mr Churchill, your penis is sticking out!".
    Churchill: "Madam, don't flatter yourself. It is merely hanging out."

    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    It's no exaggeration to say that the undecideds could go one way or another.

    It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it.

    I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but
    I don't always agree with them.
