Product Description
We all know who said
"I'll say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." Or who dryly commented:
"There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded."
Here are over 1500 carefylly selected savvy and not so savvy sayings from people of wisdom, fame, and fortune (and by many, many others not so smart or lucky) in life or by accident. These are the inspired words and unforgettable quotes by George W. Bush, Woody Allen, Mark Twain, Yogi Berra, Ogden Nash, and a whole host of others from around the world and down through the ages.
These are the amazing words and lofty expressions that have caused innumerable smirks and smiles, provided material for snide remarks and outlandish jokes, witty allegations, and causes of laughter, as well as of rage over imbecility, rank stupidity and abhorrent ignorance.
The book also contains a large selection of a whole slew of phrases and words that demonstrate many of the well known peculiarities of the English language and its many uses. Here are statements in Engrish, examples of bewildering rules of pronounciation, stuff written without using the letter "e" at all, computer advice from the Germans as well as by Dr Seuss.
