**I cheat, therefore I win.** **I have very strict morals. I only date married men.** I think these are original, but since there’s really nothing new under the sun, you never know. Maybe I stole 'em from the Collective Unconscious or something. ---

People who live in glass houses should never take their clothes off. If at first you don’t succeed, try shortstop. It got so crowded, no one went there anymore. –_Yogi Berra_ If all the girls at Vassar were laid end to end, I wouldn’t be at all surprised. –_Dorothy Parker_ Rudolph the communist were arguing about the weather, Rudolph insisting it was rain, his wife insisting it was sleet. In exasperation, Rudolph finally said, “It’s rain, it’s rain. Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear.” ---

I say it the incorrect way, and I’ll still keep saying it that way. Why? Because it sounds better. It shortens the opening phrase makes it sound more balanced with the concluding phrase. It’s also easier to remember. > > That happens a lot with quotations. Bogie never said, “Play it again, Sam.” He said, “If she can stand it, I can. Play it.” Cagney never said, “You dirty rat” either, nor did Holmes say, “Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary.” They came close, but we rewrote their words for them and made them icons, just like we did with Buckaroo. > > [/hijack] > \*\* Look at your original post. You indicate that the saying came from Buckaroo Banzai. It didn’t. It is a paraphrase of a line from that movie. If you are going to paraphrase, you should indicate that this is what you are doing. Otherwise, you are misquoting. It doesn’t matter how many people get it wrong. Majority misinformation doesn’t change the facts. ---
