I agree, that version is funnier. I just get my back up sometimes about accuracy, and I probably shouldn't.
We are in the same boat with that one, know exactly what you mean.

Can't forget these wise words.

"He [Saddam Hussein] has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbours." - Colin Powell 24 Feb 01

[Saddam Hussein had not been able to] "build his military back up or to develop weapons of mass destruction" [for] "the last 10 years" - Colin Powell 15 May 01

Why do we kill people who are killing people to show that killing people is wrong?

I forget the title of this film which this one comes from.

I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner.

This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill

Well I may have to take it, but I don't have to like it! Cosmo Kramer (Seinfeld).

Climb, you bastard! Climb, climb, climb, climb! Yossarian, Catch-22

Dear Mrs., Mr., Miss, or Mr. And Mrs. Daneeka: Words cannot express the deep personal grief I experienced when your husband, son, father, or brother was killed, wounded, or reported missing in action. General Dreedle (I think...)

And here is a piece from the book, not from a person:

Morale was deteriorating and it was all Yossarian's fault. The country was in peril; he was jeopardizing his traditional rights of freedom and independence by daring to exercise them.

Catch-22....:rotfl:

What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of f...n' a..holes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your f.....n' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So, what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

Al Pacino as Tony Montana
from the movie Scarface
