A Mind Is a Terrible Thing

Dan Quayle Posted by Hello
"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is. "

-- Vice President Dan Quayle winning friends while speaking to the United Negro College Fund, 5/9/89 This gem has been added to Bartlett's `Familiar Quotations'.

    LOL!

    Nickelodean is going to start showing "Murphy Brown" on Nick at Nite. The commercial announcer says "And don't worry about the Dan Quayle jokes, they're funny again." LOL!

    I don't think he was dumb, he just didn't...consider what he was going to say before he opened his mouth.

    To bad he didn't have an earpiece like the one Bush has, telling him what to say. So sad.

    I think you've hit on something: Bush's earpiece. Based on some of the things HE has said, I now know who was talking into the microphone which went to the earpiece.

    Dan Quayle!

    You're right, Meredith. Dan was a gem, and I miss him.

    Lily, I agree. The Dan Quale-isms were mostly harmless, and always funny. And Sandra: they didn't mention the movies "Speed", and especially "A Time To Kill". Her Row-ark (per Matthew McConaughey) was very, very good, I think.

    (*sigh*)
