Professional One Liner operator

Tonight I joined a very prestigious list of people who come up with often hilarious and smart comments. I now know how Lance Armstrong felt after all the witty sayings he made after winning all those Tour de France-athons...maybe i'll even become one of the wittiest smartest quotesman of all time with a little work...Sports men and women (but mainly men) such as my good mate Lance have constant gems they're zinging out to the media. For instance, here's one from everybodies favourite sportsman/woman, Australia's golf-grandfather Mr. Gregory Pantellidis-Smithton Norman:
“(We) should be allowed to wear shorts. God almighty, (LPGA) women are allowed to wear ‘em, and we’ve got better legs than they do.”
-Greg Norman
Classic stuff. As you can tell I'm really trying to build the suspense with all this as to what the quote I came up with is...It probably isn't nearly as classic and t-shirt worthy as my Griffith quote...But we are our own harshest critics right? (another quote that has no doubt earnt Alistair Bloomsdownsworthington the instant fame and fortune that he deserves for penning such a memorable quote.)
As I sat in yet another brain-sucking Griffith tutorial I noticed an interesting quote/one liner the obnoxious, sandal-and-shorts wearing pompous tutor was spouting out as if it was his own. The line was "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging". Well...let's demean hole-diggers for a living huh? They're not real people, right Griffith? How about this for a line "If you find yourself digging a hole, why not stuff a few Griffith tutors in as an attempt to fill it?" or "Griffith tutors only teach because they don't have the arms for hole digging"? Neither absolute zingers, but blogs don't need to be creative, just self righteous and ideologically imposing dribble.
So without further ado (as shakespeare...or some other guy once stated some time ago) here it is:
"procrastinate today so that you don't have to do it tomorrow"
Yeah ok....not quite Shakespeare or Norman quality but a bird in the hand is worth two in this blog.
Please address all abuse to me for this blog....Sorry for failing miserably at creating laughter...But I will inevitably still label this post as "comedy" or "humorous"...no doubt the funniest thing about this post.
Blogger out.
