I don't get it but it's funny
I discovered the source of one of my favorites quotes last week. Unfortunately it was because of the death of the quoter, former Texas governor, Ann Richards. She used the quote on "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me," the news quiz on NPR, on which she was a guest. At the end of her spot, after the host thanked her for playing the "Not my job" game, she said:

oh, i can't wait to use that one.
I lived in Texas when she was elected over that old asshat guy who compared bad weather to rape or something horrible like that.
I thought she was a great govenor, although in Texas the gov. is a weak position. That always makes me wonder what Bush's qualifications are. His only political experience was as govenor in a state that has a weak govenor position. So he really had no qualifications whatsoever to be president. And look at what we've got from him; a big flappin' mess.
Back to Ann. I thought she'd be on the national scene as a Senator or VP candidate, but it never happened. I found that odd.
I liked Ann, too. Kinda sassy. Thought she'd do something bigger after the governorship.
Olaf -- glad you like the phrase. I'm tempted to use it and walk away.
Loving it! Must...use...often! I'm so excited!
Is it bad that I totally get that one??
After all, I did grow up with 2 evil older brothers. They have not been eaten by pigs, however. I think I would have heard about that..
I love this sentence but the bad thing is that I'm not able to use phrases like that without already laughing like an idiot!
Electchick, I know what you mean. My brothers are younger but were always bigger and stronger. My Mom always told us we'd appreciate each other when we got older. I thought she was nuts at the time but it's now true. We still know how to push each other's buttons and do, quite often!
Julia, I have a similar problem, especially when talking to my brothers. I sometimes laugh so hard that no one can understand what I'm saying. I'll just get a look that says, "What is wrong with you?"
So...here in the land of the Illini, creative (albeit, potty mouthed) folks have developed a shirt. Orange with blue lettering (of course). A lovely "Muck Fichigan" on the front and "Ann Arbor is a whore" on the back.
I noticed a new version the other day and I thought of you. "Buck Fush" with "Ann Coulter is a whore" on the back. Ha!
Maybe that's not that funny -- but I laughed for quite a while!
I love it! I couldn't wear it to work but my, it would be fun at small town festivals!
