Every now and again, the funniest thing I’ll see on the boards is someone’s sig line. Recently, the following had me laughing out loud: _“4 out of 3 people don’t understand fractions.”_ (I can’t recall the owner of the sig - apologies) Another funny one from way back: _The mere fact that we have the flamethrower means that someone, somewhere once said “You know, I’d really like to set those people over there on fire, but don’t possess the means to do it”_ So, let’s hear the funny quotes and quips worthy of sig lines. ---

Here’s some of my faves: “In conclusion, just let me say this.” - Peter Sellers “I am like a pool table. I, too, have felt.” “Being happy is part of being crazy. The reason some people go around smiling all the time is because they’re too stupid to know how miserable everything is.” - Caroll O’Connor (as Archie Bunker) “Convexion sees between your eyes! Herds of gazelle concave at your feet!” - Surrealist compliment 😃 ---

One of my all time favorites. And I also apologize for forgetting the poster. Paraphrasing: I used to pray to God to give me a bike. Then I figured out he doesn’t work that way. So I stole one and prayed for forgiveness. ---

I have quite a collection of these, gathered over the years. Since I stole them myself, anyone who wants one is welcome to it. “Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes!” Give me ambiguity or give me something else. We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse. Make something idiotproof and somebody will invent a better idiot. We have enough youth. What we need is a fountain of SMART! “Beam me aboard, Scotty.” “Sure. Will a 2x4 do?” All I want is a warm bed, a kind word, and unlimited power. I am Homer of Borg! Prepare to be…OOooooo! Donuts!!! A good man has few enemies. A ruthless man has none. The two most common things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. Chaos, panic, & disorder - my work here is done. ---
