Here is a personal favourite.
A very senior hot and sweaty Marine stomps into the Officers Mess in Darwin during an exercise. As he approaches the bar he says quite loudly "this place is the a**ehole of the earth".
The youngest amd most junior officer in the bar turns around on his stool and says "Just passing through then sir?"
Another toast:
To our wives and sweethearts (or girlfriends); may they never meet.

Douglas Bader eh? Would you believe that he is genuinely one of my heros? Makes me love the quote even more. Thanks for that (and Driver who also gave the correct reference)Quote:

Michael Holding (I think) when asked about west indian fast bowlers a couple of years ago when commentating for channel 9.
"We don't have any fast bowlers, we only haev bowlers with a long run up"
Douglas Bader ..... wow now I think a more inspirational man never lived!
I am a big fan myself.

My Dad loves the 'blind man' quote. He's also on record with ...
"when my father first heard that, the tears rolled down his bib"
(in reference to old jokes)

One of the aussie batsmen during the Holding era (heard about a year ago during an interview but I can't remember who it was).
The line went something like this:
The umpire asked me where I wanted the sight screen. I said, 'anywhere between me and him'.

If I were you, I'd prefer to keep my mouth closed and be thought of as a fool rather than open it and prove it.

talk is not cheap it's free!!!!
give it away freely
Opinions are like asreholes - everyone has one.
It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
Love thy neighbor as thyself, but choose your neighborhood.
Bigot: One who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.
Egoist: A person of low taste, more interested in themselves than in me.
I either want less corruption, or more chance to participate in it.
