Why bother taking the chance, there is always another fool out there who will try it out first.

STEED - If I wanted to watch rubbish I would have taken my deck chair and beer to my local rubbish dump.

Yes I came up with it as far as I know.

OK, what did I just miss here?

British humour.

I guess you're becoming German after all.

A quote is a saying from somebody else, and should be attributed to its source. Just saying something you think is funny is not a quote. Some people don't seem to get that.

Thanks for the lesson in semantics: I genuinely thought that a quote could come from any source, including a fictitious character (note I use the word "fictitious" and not "fictional", since we're being so proper). Do pardon my gross ignorance.

Oh I see what happened there: a misunderstanding. Steve mistakenly thought I invented that quote. Well Fischer is a fictitious character in the film "The Colditz Story" and he makes this memorable remark in the movie; most guys of our age will remember it, that's all.

Sorry for the bared teeth...

You're being paranoid. I wasn't even referring to your post.

Nothing wrong with quoting yourself. It's a good saying, it's funny and it's based in truth. That said, it's not a favorite quote unless you let people know that's what you're doing.

"Some people are born stupid. I've had to work hard my whole life to get this way...

And I'm proud of the job I've done."
