Yogi Berra quote: "There are some people that, if they don't already know, you can't tell 'em." Yogi Bear quote: "Hey, hey Boo Boo, let's go get us a picnic basket."

Yogi Berra (yogi bear) died last week aged 90. Yogi was not only famous as a baseball player he was also known for his witty statements ....whether he actually said them or not. One of his that made the lexicon of English language was "if you come to a fork in the road...take one" Many other witticisms have been made throughout history and below is a collection someone copied to me. I'm sure there are many more so feel free to post and make us laff.... [I]In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a government. [/I] John Adams [I]If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed. [/I] Mark Twain [I]I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle[/I]. Winston Churchill [I]A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.[/I] George Bernard Shaw [I]Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.[/I] Douglas Casey, Georgetown University [I]Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.[/I] P.J.

I just watch the government and report the facts. [/I] Will Rogers [I]In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other. [/I] Voltaire (1764) [I]No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.[/I] Mark Twain (1866) [I]Talk is cheap; except whan a government does it.[/I] Anonymous [I]The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.[/I] Ronald Reagan [I]The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.[/I] Mark Twain [I]What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.[/I] Edward Langley (1928-1995) [I]A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.

I wondered how long it would take for some 'IDGUT' to respond to my intended misquote. Congratulations... you win! and it only took 1 hour and 2 minutes. btw you might like to read about this.... [I]Yogi's name was similar to that of contemporary baseball star Yogi Berra, who was known for his amusing quotes, such as "half the lies they tell about me aren't true." Berra sued Hanna-Barbera for defamation, but their management claimed that the similarity of the names was just a coincidence. Berra withdrew his suit, but the defense was considered implausible and sources now report that Berra was the inspiration for the name. At the time Yogi Bear first hit TV screens, Yogi Berra was a household name.[/I]

Check out online what Yogi Berra had to say about jazz (contemporary) music. Classic. He also took the cartoon makers of Yogi Bear to task for drawing their character from his fame but after some legal argy bargy was left without a cracker for "their invention" that was coincidentally broadcast at the height of his (yogi the human) fame. What has this to do with Bali? Absolutely nothing.
