The Quote Wall

Over the years I've earned quite a reputation for saying unusual things at unusual times.  Some of my sayings are home grown, others are odd sayings I've heard that I seem to have a knack for retaining and repeating.

I've given credit to all quotes that aren't my own where possible.

So now, I've added the "Quote Wall" to my blog, just for fun.  I hope everyone enjoys it! 

"Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs."
~Unknown

"They think they're doing a great job because they don't get any calls anymore?  That's like the fire department saying they're doing a great job because nobody calls them. In reality nobody  calls them because last time they flooded the house and ran over the cat."  

~Jonathan Landeros

"He's not completely useless, he can always be used as a chock."
~Senior Chief Petty Officer Robert Landeros (my father)
PS: In case you're wondering, a chock is the block stuck under an aircraft wheel to prevent accidental rolling.

Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself. 
~Mark Twain

"I hate flying commercial.  I'm just getting crammed into a giant aluminum lawn dart with a bunch of other people who don't want to be there"
~Jonathan Landeros

If you think you don't need a backup for your data, sit down and ask yourself one question.  When's the last time you  said "I wish I hadn't made that backup"
