From my sig file:

"Give me ambiguity or give me something else!"

My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells by the
seashore.

Dyslexic/agnostic/insomniac - n.) One who stays awake all night wondering
if there really is a Dog.

"He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool
you. He really is an idiot."

All wiyht. Rho sritched mg kegtops awound?

How do I set my laser printer on stun?

The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is
a match.

Optimists see a glass that's half full.
Pessimists see a glass that's half empty.
Engineers see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.

Mac OS X vs. Windows XP:
Typical Microsoft...Take something from another company then P on it.

If you want to know more about paranoids follow them around.

(If you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses)

Borrow money from pessimists-they don't expect it back.

Puritanism: the haunting fear that somewhere, someone may be happy.

It's all about NewsRadio:

Bill: The eyes are the window to the skull, my friend.
Dave: Soul.
Bill: For those who have one, yes.

Bill: Don't try to confuse me with the facts.

Bill: There comes a time in every friendship when you have to say, "I never liked you - get lost."

Bill: This is a two-part question. 1. What does Lisa look like naked? And 2. What does Lisa feel like naked? This question is for both candidates.

Bill: Have you heard the expression, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and then toss it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you asked for in the first place"?

Bill: The fact is, the woman wanted me. And the fact that she couldn't have me made her, quite simply, insane with what the great poets have called ... manimal lust.

Dave: I think you're jumping to conclusions.
Bill: Dave, I stand still; the conclusions jump to me.

Classic show. Never watched it during it's original run, but saw them all in syndication. Except the ones that didn't star Phil Hartman, though.

Winston Churchill on Clement Atlee: "He is a modest man who has much to be modest about."

I also liked his reply to a pedant who criticised him for his use of grammar: "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which we will not put."

When I go somewhere I like to carry a bag in each hand. That way if anyone says 'can you lend me a hand' I say sorry I cant, I got these two bags.

Thing is, I could theorectically agree with some things Zimph says, I just don't see why they need to be discussed all the frigging time.

Anyway, since he started it:

George W. Bush: "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."

Seriously though, every time I read that quote I laugh.

George W. Bush: "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."
Gah, George isn't the best wordsmith. That one was about retarded. I am hoping this was just a blunder or miswording by him, and nothing something his writers actually wrote.

I already posted that

Oh well, that one is funny enough to deserve a double posting

oh man don't get started on those jack handy quotes. Some of my faves:

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.

Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words---"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.

If you drop your keys into molten lava just let 'em go 'cause, man, they're gone.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

Blow ye winds / Like the trumpet blows; / But without that noise.

I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas

The only thing that I am reasonably sure of is that anybody who's got an ideology has stopped thinking. - Arthur Miller

Once when I was in college I was talking with some friends and I forget exactly what we were talking about, but I made the following statement: "Yeah, Saran Wrap is quiet." One of my friends thought that was really funny. The next day, I passed her room, and found a piece of paper on her door, on which she had written: "Yeah, Saran Wrap is quiet." with my name next to it.

I asked her why she did it, and she said she was going to post on her door a collection of strange/funny comments that people made. Here are a few from that list...

"Yeah, Saran Wrap is quiet."

"Has your plum warmed up yet?"

"You really know how to make a pessimist feel awful."

If I can remember any more, I'll add them above.
