    “Sure-n-begora”: I’m not even sure what that means, and I probably spelled it wrong.

    I see that the majority of your quotes are from the lips of women.
    I could give you a few quotes from men that I have known, but they are unprintable, and I would surely be expelled from Yahoo if I printed them here.

    Here’s one: “The job ain’t done until the paper work is complete.” But, as you read it, you need to see a little cartoon, or picture, of character sitting on a pot to understand the real meaning or meanings of the quote.

    Here’s one I actually heard, a carpenter speaking to an apprentice: “You stupid S.O.B., I taught you everything I know, and you still don’t know anything.”

    “Never get into a land war in Asia” Douglas MacArthur

    “Avoid the creation of a military - industrial complex” Dwight Eisenhower

    “Avoid entangling alliances” George Washington

    (I suspect some are not perfect quotes but they are very close)

    My absolute favorite is by Rita Mae Brown:
    Lead me not into temptation, I can find the way myself.
    In other words, I am the one who is responsible for my own downfall.. that’s the way I read it.
