My favourite is that one that was attributed to Maggie Thatcher & used as an inspirational quote "You have to be lucky all the time. We only have to be lucky once"
When it was really what the IRA said to Maggie after the Brighton bombing

"I could care less."

Every time I hear people, intelligent people, respectable people, normal people, un-intelligent people, anybody really, say this phrase it makes my blood pressure spike. Oh, you could care less? You COULD, so.... it's possible for you to care less than you do? You could? That means you actually do care! ::Sigh::

You numskulls, the phrase is that you "COULDN'T care less", COULDN'T. COULD NOT. Meaning you're as low as it goes, it's not possible to go lower on the scale of caring. Gaaaah! Heart palpitations, I need an aspirin.

And yes, I predict that the most liked comment to my post will be something like: "I could care less how anyone says it." And no one will really know what they mean...

The title of thileaders!

I honestly thought it said "what's the worst mosquito you've ever heard?" Which only makes sense to me and my family, as we literally just fought off a swarm of golf ball sized blood suckers at our kids baseball game the other night. It was an epic showdown. I'm pretty sure I saw them fly off with one of our smallest players. I'll kknow if we all made it out alive at the next game tomorrow.

God save the little leaguers!

The sixteenth chapel

I’m gonna let that one sink in for a moment

He thought it was the sixteenth chapel Michelangelo had painted

He went on to brag about this to several people because he was such an informed expert
