Lilly Posted July 18, 2014 #51 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Yep, just as I thought: http://www.goodreads...veryone-equally “I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally" W. C. Fields Edited July 18, 2014 by Lilly link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted July 18, 2014 #52 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Actually, I'm pretty sure it was W. C. Fields who first coined that one. WC Fields had some great ones!... "Any man who hates dogs and children, can't be all bad"... "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it." "Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she'll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life." "Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water." "I am free of all prejudices. I hate every one equally." "Marry an outdoors woman. Then if you throw her out into the yard on a cold night, she can still survive." "The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive." "Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake." "No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree." "I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food." "Start every day off with a smile and get it over with." In college I had to write a paper on "A famous American"... I chose W.C. Fields...

Lilly Posted July 18, 2014 #53 Share Posted July 18, 2014 One of my personal favorites: "I never drink water, fish *spawn* in it" Only Mr. Fields did not use the word *spawn*, he used the common 4 letter vernacular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted July 19, 2014 #57 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The language censor is there because some people can't manage to use 'grown up' terminology. Instead, they go for the lowest form of expression, profanity and crudeness. Remember, UM has posters as young as 13...would you want your younger siblings or your children reading that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted July 21, 2014 #59 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Well, we've gone from 'bikini clad chicks' in airline safety videos to the nature of what's actually humorous vs what's just sexist and crude. Not really all that far of a derailment...but I do see your point. I'll say this, if the airlines want passengers to seriously pay attention to the safety videos then they need to make the videos serious. Any video that come across like 'Bay Watch' in flight is unlikely to be taken seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted July 21, 2014 Author #60 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I expect i could guarantee that no one takes any notice at all of serious safety videos. At least with a more 'novelty' approach, people might actually watch it. Anyway, What is the point? As we've seen recently, if anything does happen you're really not going to have time to collect your lifejacket from under your seat and attach the toggles and blow your little whistle and all the rest of it, are you. All you need to know is where the emergency Exits are, and remember to take your shoes off and that kind of thing. i Edited July 21, 2014 by Admiral Rhubarb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyomotor Posted August 20, 2014 #61 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm usually offended by the religious, the anti-religious, authority figures, those with no authority what-so-ever, hunters, animal rights wackos, people who try to tell everyone what to do and think, people who don't care what everyone does or thinks, politicians, the politically uninvolved, conspiracy theorists and their believers, skeptics, kids, adults, men, women, gays, lesbians, straights, NASCAR fans, those that hate NASCAR, sports enthusiasts, lazy slobs who don't like sports, lumberjacks, tree huggers, drivers, pedestrians, feminists, anti-feminists, Conservatives, Liberals, Socialists, Communists, anarchists, and those annoying people who are too danged lazy to make up their mind what their politcal affiliation is!... Other than that.. i pretty much get along with everyone... You forgot the Save Lesbian Whales group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyomotor Posted August 20, 2014 #62 Share Posted August 20, 2014 They're the ones who can't raise a smile after only getting a 4th. in 'Best of Breed' at Crufts! Have you noticed that most active feminists have faces like a wart hog sucking a wasp? You mean there are some who don't look like warthogs sucking a wasp?
