Subject: BS: The Things They Never Ever Said... From: alanabit Date: 30 Apr 06 - 03:22 PM Some years ago in England, the Guardian Newspaper ran a competition for the best made up quote. The things they never ever said. The winner was along the lines of,"I'm really, really sorry. Actually, I knew I was wrong all along..." (Margeret Thatcher). Something along the lines of,"OK lads, I'll get the first round lads!" (Ayatollah Khomeni) "I like to be in America." (Ossama bin Laden). "Are you sure you don't want to go home to Mom tonight?" (Michael Jackson). "Light a fire quick please, I'm freezing." (Joan of Arc). Anyone else got some unlikely quotes? |
