    Favorite quotes

    Here is a quick video of a movie quote I really like. I got reminded of it earlier today. Enjoy. Anyone else have some good quotes?

    "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having heard you"

    Here are a couple of mine.

    "You just keep thinking Butch. That's what your good at."

    Butch: "Listen, I don't mean to be a sore loser but when it's done if I'm dead. Kill him.'
    Sundance: 'Love to."

    And of course;

    'We're going to need a bigger boat.'

    Why don't we have the time to do it right but have the time to do it over?

    Blazing Saddles has too many to pick out just one.... or even 10.
    I started to add a few, but most have to be cleaned up a bit or are not PC enough to be quoted here.

    So if you have seen this movie, you know what I'm talking about, and if you haven't seen it, you really need to add it to your must see list.

    Quotes, that I use quite often. I have no idea who said them (maybe it was me!)
    "It's easy to make something complicated, It's hard to make something simple."

    "Well, let me say this, about that"

    "You can have it Quick, you can have it good, you can have it cheap. Pick two."

    " I spend too much time in the SMC off topic forum while I'm at work"

    One of my favorites can't be posted here due to the TOSs but if you have seen the uncut version of "The Outlaw - Josey Wales" it deals with being intentionally misled and insulting one's intelligence. It happens just before the Gatlin guns go to work.

    One my father often used... "There are 3 things a man should never discuss...politics, religion or another man's wife."
