Latest Reader's Digest Quotable Quotes

At last! Another person who sees the evils of balloons as I do:
"Many terrible things begin with B: bears, blindness, boilers, bats, bridges, and brain tumors. But no one brings any of those to a party to up the fun quotient. When I look at a balloon, all I see is an imminent explosion. Where's the fun in that?"
Roz Chast, What I Hate from A to Z

Another Winston Churchill gem:
When Lady Astor became annoyed with a soused Winston Churchill, she blurted out, "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your coffee." Churchill replied, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."

Oscar Wilde:
sarcasm: the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.

That is US!

  2. Not sure I agree with Oscar Wilde about sarcasm being the lowest form of wit but I definitely agree with the last part of the statement.
