I have a couple I use here and there (well, just there, I suppose, since I don’t actually use one here.) I rotate 'em as I get bored, which happens a lot. My current ones:

“I am in aromatherapy - once a week I tell all my problems to a scented candle”

“Never doubt that a small group of committed individuals can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever does.” - Margaret Mead

“I’m trying to save my sanity - YOU save the whales.”

I don’t know about best ever, but I’ve gotten some compliments on my sig before.

Well, I got complimented on the first bit about the candy bars. The bit about the nose came later after a lengthy spell of insomnia and was just feeling generally weird and goofy.

I used loads of different ones, once upon a time, before i topped bothering.

3 of my favourites were:

“the truth is just an excuse for a lack of imagination”

"Work is the curse of the drinking class " Oscar Wilde

“Religion is for those who are afraid to go to hell. Spirituality is for those who’ve been there and don’t want to go back”

quote 1 and 3, forgot who said them.  
sorry folks

I saw someone’s on another board, think it’s also Terry Pratchett:

“Give a man a fire, and he’s warm for an hour. Set fire to a man and he’s warm for the rest of his life.”

Ditto. I almost wet myself laughing when I first read that signature.

You know, I think I have one set up. Hold on.

(previews)

I sure do. Huh. This is probably the only time it has been – or will be – used.

I just about fell off my chair laughing at **elf6c**'s sig line in this thread.

Heh heh. Ralph Wiggum ROCKS!!!
