Statements To Be Remembered For

The greatest American thinkers were Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President, and Samuel Clemens, an author. Today the most often quoted American philosopher is Lawrence "Yogi" Berra, a baseball player.

But here are some things that Berra didn't say and the acknowledgments:

A chicken ain't nothing but a bird. (A statement that bears endless repetition) (Thanks, Mr. Wood!)


There are two sandwiches in every beer. (Thanks, Pierce!)


Never trust a naked bus driver. (Thanks, Jack Douglas!)


The dog barks but the caravan passes. (Thanks "Moon Over Morocco"!)


The day you make a decision is a lucky day. (Okinawan saying)


May the amount that remains in your glass be an exact measure of your evil intentions. (A Russian toast, undoubtedly made by Boris Yeltsin)

Shakespeare means nothing whatever to a butterfly. (Thanks yours truly -- though this is a sanitized and therefore less effective version of my statement)
