Title: Favourite Quotes
Post by: mathew_harris on May 10, 2008, 09:47:56 AM
Being some what bored in work on a saturday waiting for cabling to get done have been thinking we need a space for peoples favourite humourous quotes to be posted (lifes to short for the overly serious ones).  What made me think of this initially was Lucys comments about gaffer tape being like the force along with a course i've just been on where the opening line was "This course has a lot of T.L.A.'s (Three Letter Acronyms)" which made me chuckle a little, was one of those courses!

Nothing by Jeremy Clarkson though please.

Gaffer tape is like the force: It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the Universe together.

If we cant fix it with gaffer tape, superglue or a hammer then we have a problem.

"The ride quality feels like falling down the stairs whilst wearing calipers"-JC

"Pain is temporary, glory lasts forever, and chicks dig scars"-some dude off Smack Down Under

"If things start getting ugly, don't try and fight it, just go with it"-My mate Gareth in preparation for a particularly large night out.  I think I will paint this across the transom of my boat when it's finshed as my downwind mantra.  Incidentally, Tom and I took Gareth for a sail the other day, it was his first time on a dinghy ever, so we thought the 18 would be a good starting point as we could run around sailing the boat whilst he just sat there.  He noticed "this boat seems quite a big bigger than the other ones sailing..." We did get him triple wiring with the kite up within 5 minutes, and we did helpfully tell him that "If things start getting ugly..." 8)

Much more of a hoot to drive than you might imagine. Think of it, if you like, as a librarian with a G-string under the tweed. I do, and it helps

Keith Bontrager on his design philosophy for bike components, but equally applicable for most performance engineering applications, boats included!
