What happens when someone sticks his foot in his mouth? Out come words like these! "Smoking kills. Groups of guitars are on their way out."--Decca recording company executive, turning down the Beatles, 1962 Here they are: the dumbest lines, stupidest thoughts, and most confused logic ever put into words. They come from politicians, celebrities, and executives, military men and the IRS, and almost certainly the speakers wished they could take back what they said. Fortunately, for our enjoyment, they can't, and so they remain out there forever, providing hearty laughs and some amazed headshaking. Some show an appalling lack of judgment, others a profound lack of understanding, while yet more just reveal poor vocabulary skills and embarrassingly low intelligence. These are just some of the highlights: "Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country."--Marion Barry, Mayor of Washington, D.C. I didn't live in this century."--Dan Quayle Each quote is hilarious.
