"He has the attention span of a lightning bolt." -- Robert Redford

and in the words of Groucho Marx

Nitey night all. Sweet dreams.

Love it, I could think of some people Samuel Johnson's quote applies to!
Fun post! Good night to you, too.
Oh, Terra--these made me laugh til I had a few cramps in my side. I really love sarcastic remarks and I have a slew. These are for you:
"If you don't have anything nice to say about anyone, come sit by me" (Mae West)
Eleanor (Roosevelt) was a huge nature lover in spite of what it did to her.
"I don't want to be rich, I just want to be wonderful." (Marilyn Monroe)
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes
"I may be drunk miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly."
Terrible, but these have stuck out in my head. I love old Hollywood, and I had an old magazine where these quotes were published. Long gone, but I remember these!!
Thanks for a great memory jogging post!

These are funny. I think my favorite was the last one. :-)
Happy Fall dear Terra ~ FlowerLady
I've been listening to audio books (fairy tales) by Oscar Wilde. Have you listened to them? You can go here http://www.wildestories.ie/ or find them on youtube. I like Grocho's quote best...I LOL!!! Hugs, Diane
Those are some good ones!
Groucho....telling it like it is.
I'm a fan of classy insults, too. I've got quite a long of them, which I've used as the basis for a couple blog posts. (Great minds think alike, eh?)
Those were all fun. My dad loved quoting Churchill who was full of put down.
Very good! Love them all, to me, Winston Churchill always had the most quotable lines.
The horse pictures brought MR Ed to mind. : )
Ha! These are funny!
Funny quotes and so true I'm sure! It's frustrating when you think of something witty to say long after the event!
Yep, Groucho :) I also adore this one which has been attributed to Groucho, Churchill and others (no one knows the true origin):
Woman to man annoying her in some way: “If you were my husband, sir, I’d put poison in your tea!”
Man looks at her and responds: “Madam, If I were your husband, I’d drink it!”
Funny stuff!!
Thank you for visiting my blog! I love these insults haha!
