Caution: Cape Does Not Enable User To Fly

I decided that for this week's motivator, we needed a little humor. I, for one, am a master at mixing up my words, which sometimes has disastrous (as in embarrassing) but humorous consequences. I am sharing some of my favorite misquotes. The names have been eliminated to prevent further embarrassment <g>.

"I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them."
     - Political Leader

"Not only is he ambidextrous, but he can throw with either hand."
     - Football coach and sports analyst

"We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need?"
     - Former CEO of automobile maker

"Please provide the date of your death."
     - From an Internal Revenue Service letter

"I was provided with additional input that was radically different from the truth. I assisted in furthering that version."
     - Military officer in hot water

"Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything."
     - One time novelist

"The road of good intentions is paved with Hell."
     - An optimistic person

"A day without sunshine is like, you know, night."
     - A philosopher

"A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on."
     - A brilliant lawyer

"Antidotes are what you take to prevent dotes." An aspiring doctor

"Caution: Cape does not enable user to fly." - Batman Costume warning label A dream killer

Affirmation for the Week:
 
“I will wear my batman/woman cape proudly, but I will not attempt to fly.”
 
Have a jocular week!
