“This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays” “What’s so unpleasant about being drunk? You ask a glass of water.” “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.” “If there’s anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.” [more…](http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy) ---

Seriously, in my poor brain, the bad phrase (wreck havoc) caught my attention and I corrected the spelling without ever stopping to think if the quote was right. :smack: ---

Do or do not; there is no try. That’s no moon, it’s a space station! Nuke it from orbit; it’s the only way to be sure. ---

Very neat! Let me guess, you’re an accountant, right? Or possibly an actuary… ---

My job title is “report analyst”, which basically means I write a lot of SQL code, Excel formulas, and that sort of thing. I manipulate data all day long. What made you think I was an accountant though? ---

A few from Bugs Bunny: "He don’t know me too good, do he? “Be vewy, vewy quiet, I’m hunting Wabbits!” “I musta missed that left turn at Albequerque!” (Or however you spell it?) “Of course you realize this means war!” “Gee, ain’t I a stinker?” “I bet you monsters lead interesting lives!” “I’ll be scared later. Right now I’m too mad.” And one I bet you didn’t know was his: "Well, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. " ---

What made you think I was an accountant though? Sorry, that was a lame joke on your office decor. If there was ever an office that was 180 degrees away from that of the stereotypical accountant, you’re sitting in it. 😃 ---

> [@schnuckiputzi](#): > > Maybe I’m being whooshed, but the Jackie Gleason quote is from “Smoky and the Bandit”…right?😕 The “punch your momma in the mouth” line is from _Smokey and the Bandit_, yes, but the “failure to communicate” line - while also in _SATB_ - originally comes from the Paul Newman classic _Cool Hand Luke_. [Basic Wikipedia reference](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_we%27ve_got_here_is_(a)_failure_to_communicate) [Video clip](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fuDDqU6n4o) Now, while Jackie Gleason certainly has a well-deserved place in the pantheon of film and TV entertainment, it’s just not cricket to assign him all the glory of one of the classic lines of cinema. **batsto** - if I had things like that in the offices where I worked I would have enjoyed going to work a lot more! Well done! ---
