MikeJD 0 #55 April 12, 2012 Quote "It takes one to know one". It offends me every time I use a word 'douche' for someone To me, "It takes one to know one" is just a meaningless silly comeback. It's only one step up from "I know you are, but what am I?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #64 September 17, 2012 Quote Quote "My country ... right or wrong" "If you have nothing to hide ........." I agree that is a bad saying. The original quote of General Shurz was, "My country, right or wrong. If right, to be kept right. If wrong, to be set right." Much better. I hate the addage that there is 'no such thing as a dumb question'. There certainly is. If the Help Desk thinks your question is dumb we will set you on fire. Once in a while I work our Help Desk and some people never cease to amaze me. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
