Subject: RE: BS: Out of the mouths of....
Liam, that comes from an old parody of the horse to water, can't make him drink saw: "You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think," or a longer version in which a teacher includes the original in a list of old sayings, and sometime later gives her class a vocabulary list containing the word horticulture. Sometime after that she calls on a student who's been woolgathering and asks him to use the word horticulture in a sentence--he thinks a while and comes up with the revised saw.

And Davey, I've seen that kind of list often before, but this is absolutely the most hilarious of them all. Every one had me LMAO, some had me gasping for breath.
