Playing the quiz this morning reminded me of an old article in Reader's Digest of the above title about sports figures mis-quoting common sayings, usually in total innocence.

A few examples:

A manager of some team, when asked about solving a problem with a player or the competition, was quoted as saying something like, "We had to nip that in the butt."

There was a coach of the Boston Bruins, as I recall, a French-Canadian lacking a tooth or two, who loved his team to play a very physical game. When questioned about a particularly rough game, he grinned and said, "We didn't play by the Queen of Marksberry rules tonight!"

A manager of a baseball team was asked to comment on the spectacular fielding of one of his outfielders during a game. He was quoted as saying, "His limitations are limitless!"

And then, Yogi Berra. When considering the job of Mets Manager, he was asked, "Yogi, have you made up your mind about the Mets job yet?"

"Not that I know of," he replied.

My guess is Yogi knew full well what he was saying. He's 88 now.

Some great things about the quizzes are that they bring back good memories. Also, they are humbling in that some things you ought to be able to recall just don't pop out when you need them.

I have always thought that Yogi knew quite well what he was saying

"No one goes to that restaurant anymore because it's too crowded "

Which brings us to this.

You gotta love Barney

That was a great one, MrB!

Thanks for the video, Nuke. Don Knotts was a wonderful actor. I still love watching "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken."

Or Mr. Limpet where he is a fish

Ted 'pulled a Yogi' on me just the other day:
I was driving him to an appointment, but hadn't
been there before, I was stressing for time
and asked Ted for directions, the bastid said;

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it!"

ROFLMAO !!

Priceless !

Put him with Tim Conway in the Apple Dumpling Gang and they're both on steroids !!

That was great!

If you haven't already, watch the "What's My Line?" with Jack Benny.
