No-one has yet posted the funniest quote ever Brooke Shields: “Smoking kills. If you’re killed, you’ve lost a very important part of your life.” ---

> [@zagloba](#): > > Jane Seymour: “My wish is that my Open Heart design becomes a universal symbol of hope and love.” I think this one gets an asterisk. The quote isn’t that stupid (kinda wishful thinking and far-fetched), but her jewelry design is. Jane…it looks like a snake. Not a symbol of hope and love. ---

It looks like a snake, with a big ass. ---

> [@RikWriter](#): > > You still can’t drive through the chunnel though, can you? Apparently you drive onto a special train, ride in your car for about 1/2 hour and drive off on the other side, then try to remember which side of the road you are supposed to drive on. If you wanted to you could get liquored up and run over some limeys and some frogs in the same afternoon. Fun for the whole family. ---

You can also take the chunnel train over and then rent a car in Paris. It’s really not all the arduous to get over onto the mainland. ---

Paris Hilton thinking Walmart sold wall supplies was pretty stupid, though it’d be believable, there can’t be many Walmarts on Rodeo Drive. ---

If you wanted to you could get liquored up and run over some limeys and some frogs in the same afternoon. Fun for the whole family. How do you score that? * * * For stupid quotes, it’s hard to beat Yogi Berra: “You should always go to other people’s funerals. Otherwise they won’t come to yours.” “90% of the game is half mental.” “It’s never happened in the World Series history - and it hasn’t happened since.” “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.” “I didn’t say half the things I said.” ---

> [@Sage\_Rat](#): > > You can also take the chunnel train over and then rent a car in Paris. It’s really not all the arduous to get over onto the mainland. I didn’t take it as a you can’t get there from London thing. I took it as Berlin is pretty damn far from London and a lot closer to Russia (but still not close). It is not a drive that you just waive off. Its like saying, “I’m driving to California. I’ll either start in New York or Illinois. Whatever.” ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > I know the OP asked for no GWB quotes, but I think this one qualifies since it really isn’t political in any way, just plain stupid. On a visit to Brazil during his first term, he was quoted as saying to the Brazilian president “You have black people down here too?” In that case, can I say my favorite Dubya-ism? “You know there are all these conspiracy theories that Dick Cheney runs the country, or Karl Rove runs the country. Why aren’t there any conspiracy theories that I run the country? Really ticks me off.” ---

> [@zagloba](#): > > Jane Seymour: “My wish is that my Open Heart design becomes a universal symbol of hope and love.” :: shrugging :: I wouldn’t count that one myself. Two reasons: it was a line from an advertisement and thus most likely was written for her (and thus the stupidity should be attributed to the copwriter; and, more importantly, Jane gets one free stupid pass per year for being pretty. ---

Not a symbol of hope and love. Not to mention the fact that every piece of artwork in her studio seems to be the open heart design, as if she just keeps obsessively painting it over and over and over again. It reminds me of “The Shining” with the reams of typewritten “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-remarkably-stupid-celebrity-quote-thread/485982.md?page=1)
