I told you I was ill - Spike Milligan's gravestone.
And a selection from my favourite word smith, Terry Pratchett:
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
I have to admit that I drive past Bridgwater quite regularly. And fast.
There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.
Modesty is only arrogance by stealth.

After a quick chat with a lorry driver who isn't too taken with the IVECO truck they are driving - "Iveco - Internal Vibration Everything Comes Off"
One we have at work, usually about how long it takes to get something done
"It's like wading through treacle"
IT related ones:
"There's no place like 127.0.0.1"
"A bug is when the computer is doing what you told it to do rather than doing what you think you told it to do"
"It's not a bug, it's a feature"
Was my sig on here for a while!
"A good landing is one you can walk away from"
