    2 of my favories

    As far as I know I made these up. First has to do with skiing "If you don't crash, your not trying hard enough"

    The other is my credo, "All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy"

    Right after the invasion of Iraq, some recently wounded soldiers were interviewed after they were well enough. One of the first questions was posed to a badly wounded man, " Did the thought of getting shot at bother you alot?"
    His reply was beautiful," No,It was the actually getting shot part that sucked!"

    Winston Churchills best quote was at a dinner party after a woman felt he was being rude, she commented that if he were her husband she would poison his drink.

    Churchills repley was " Madam if you were my wife I would gladly drink it ! "
