Did a search of one of my favorite philosophers, Yogi Berra. For those of you that don't know who he is, he was a great baseball player in the 40's and 50's era. He was well known for his butchering quotes of the English language. Here are a few:
<LI>"This is like deja vu all over again."



<LI>"You can observe a lot just by watching."



<LI>"He must have made that before he died." -- Referring to a Steve McQueen movie.



<LI>"I want to thank you for making this day necessary." -- On Yogi Berra Appreciation Day in St. Louis in 1947.



<LI>"I'd find the fellow who lost it, and, if he was poor, I'd return it." -- When asked what he would do if he found a million dollars.



<LI>"Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?"



<LI>"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."



<LI>"I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early."



<LI>"If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else."



<LI>"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."



<LI>"You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."



<LI>"Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical."



<LI>"It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much."



<LI>"Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting."



<LI>"A nickel isn't worth a dime today."



<LI>"Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded."



<LI>"It gets late early out there." -- Referring to the bad sun conditions in left field at the stadium.



<LI>"Glen Cove." -- Referring to Glenn Close on a movie review television show.



<LI>Once, Yogi's wife Carmen asked, "Yogi, you are from St. Louis, we live in New Jersey, and you played ball in New York. If you go before I do, where would you like me to have you buried?" Yogi replied, "Surprise me."



<LI>"Do you mean now?" -- When asked for the time.



<LI>"I take a two hour nap, from one o'clock to four."



<LI>"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."



<LI>"You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough in the second half you give what's left."



<LI>"90% of the putts that are short don't go in."



<LI>"I made a wrong mistake."



<LI>"Texas has a lot of electrical votes." -- During an election campaign, after George Bush stated that Texas was important to the election.



<LI>"Thanks, you don't look so hot yourself." -- After being told he looked cool.



<LI>"I always thought that record would stand until it was broken."



<LI>"Yeah, but we're making great time!" -- In reply to "Hey Yogi, I think we're lost."



<LI>"If the fans don't come out to the ball park, you can't stop them."



<LI>"Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel."



<LI>"It's never happened in the World Series competition, and it still hasn't."



<LI>"How long have you known me, Jack? And you still don't know how to spell my name." -- Upon receiving a check from Jack Buck made out to "bearer."



<LI>"I'd say he's done more than that." -- When asked if first baseman Don Mattingly had exceeded expectations for the current season.



<LI>"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win."



<LI>"He can run anytime he wants. I'm giving him the red light." -- On the acquisition of fleet Ricky Henderson.



<LI>"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?"



<LI>"It ain't the heat; it's the humility."



<LI>"The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase."



<LI>"You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours."



<LI>"I didn't really say everything I said."

Smurfe! You're killin' me here!

I thought I was young until you explained who YogiBerra is! I thought, "Well EVERYONE knows who Yogi Berra is!" But then I realized, that's no longer the case.

I'm old! How did that happen?

Quickly, if you're anything like me.
