Did They Really Say That?

Einstein sticking his tongue outFeeling stupid?  You'll feel much more intelligent after reading these quotes from some famous "Einsteins" below:

Question: "If you could live forever, would you and why?"
Answer: "I would not live forever because we should not live forever because, if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever.  But, we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever."
- Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest (this Einstein went on to become Miss America 1995)

"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry.  I mean, I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff."
- Brainiac and Humanitarian Mariah Carey

"I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body."
- Winston Bennett, University of Kentucky basketball forward (NOT attending school to become a doctor)

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country."
- Powder-lover Mayor Marion Barry, Washington DC

"Half this game is 90% mental."
- Math whiz and Philadelphia Phillies Manager Danny Ozark

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment.  It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."
- Vice President Al Gore

"I love California.  I practically grew up in Phoenix."
- Vice President Dan Quayle (Among other things, geography was NOT his strong suit)

"The word 'genius' isn't applicable in football.  A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."
- Joe Theisman, NFL quarterback and sports analyst (good thing he was pretty)

"Your food stamps will be stopped effective March 1992 because we received notice that you passed away.  May God bless you.  You may reapply if there is a change in your circumstances."
- Department of Social Services, Greenville, SC (sounds like the typical thought process of a government entity to me)

Feel smarter now?  Have a great day!

Now that was a great Friday Funny laugh! Did you make up those comments at the end of the quotes? Sometimes you just have to laugh rather than cry at some of the people we look up to :)

My daughter and I were just talking today about how many ways we find to use George W. Bush's created word, 'strategery'.

Those were great. I especially loved the Mariah Carey quote, but I thought that the "Half of this game is 90% mental" was from the great Yogi Berra.

It's a whole mixture of emotions, isn't it, Lee & Carol?  And, yes, those were my little quips at the end.

Oh, Joetta.  We could fill a book the size of the Oxford English Dictionary with nifty little quotes from George W. Bush, couldn't we?

You're absolutely right, Darrell.  Yogi Beara did say that.  I stand corrected.
