"People like me are the reason people like you can bitch about people like me."

 

I said this in the heat of a discussion with a very liberal school teacher who started teaching the same day I did at an elementary school in Brigham City, Utah. I started there nine days after I left Vietnam in 1969. Three days later he started in on me. Less than a week after that he was transferred to another school at his own request.

 

I liked it so well I've kept and used it ever since. Look below my avatar.

I like this line from The Dark Knight (Batman, if you didn't know)

 

Lucius Fox: Let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands; and your plan, is to *blackmail* this person?

[pause, Reese looks nervous]

Lucius Fox: Good luck.

Saw this old WWII movie where the Germans are advancing on a GI squad. The GIs are giving it all they got and finally it was down to one German and 2 GIs. First GI gets a good shot and the German falls. First GI says "Did I get 'em?" Second one replies "Don't know, KEEP FIRING!" lol

 

Still can't remember what the movie was. Some low budget thing, but was pretty funny.

Another movie line. Still can't remember the movie. Two guys talking.

1: "Man, why are you smiling? You lost your car, job, and wife; The bank's about to foreclose on your house. What have you got to smile about?"

2: "Well.....Things can't get any worse."
