How about - "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." Seems quite an apt quotation following Chubbs's attempt. And todays' quiz is - who is being quoted above?

One of my faves - especially when it comes to Public Sector wankers.

"Give me a Committee of one, and I'll get things done".

W.S.Churchill

OR -

"I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."

W.S. Churchill

And finally,

one for the twaaats who rushed in Part P, despite there being no real need for it -

"Let the evidence guide the research. Do not have a preconceived agenda which will only distort the result."
-Barbara Tuchman

Now Churchill was a clever bloke indeed. Not only was he a good brick layer but also a great orator. He was once asked how long does it take him to write a speech (as they did in those days; they did not have a few hundred spin doctors doing it for them) to which he replied -

Well if I am to talk for an hour I am ready now. If you want me to talk for half an hour then it takes me about 10 minutes. On the other hand if you want me to talk for just 5 minutes it takes me about a month.

Here's a few

"I told them I was ill" Spike Milligan

"You can keep quiet & let everyone think you're a fool or you can speak and confirm their thoughts" Anon

MP to Churchill "Sir you're drunk!"
Reply " Yes madam and you're ugly but in the morning I will be sober"

Churchill again

Lady Astor (I think) " If you were my husband I'd poison you"
Churchill "Madam if you were my wife I'd drink it"

And finally

The management recognise there is a communication problem within the company but are not prepared to dicuss it.

I've heard it all, I've seen it all, I've done it all&&I just don't remember any of it!
