What a lovely thread. A pedant's delight! It would be a neat idea to take all these misquotations and put them into a single screenplay...gad! I'm surprised no one in Hollywood has thought to do this yet, especially Mel Brooks.Now, here's one that is just as glorious as any of them...but it's not a misquotation. It's a real quotation.
"He's dead, Jim."
We have a whole course at the WSSBA based on that very statement, in fact...
