Fostering Great Cooperation in the Workplace

Some Funny Quotes, Smile

January 29, 2018 by Mary Motivator Rau-Foster

Smile

I decided that for this week’s motivator, we needed a little humor.

I, for one, am a master at mixing up my words, which sometimes has disastrous (as in embarrassing) but humorous consequences. I am sharing some of my favorite misquotes. The names have been eliminated to prevent further embarrassment [g].

“I have opinions of my own — strong opinions — but I don’t always agree with them.”
– Political leader

“Not only is he ambidextrous, but he can throw with either hand.”
– Football coach and sports analyst

“We’ve got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need?”
– Former CEO of automobile maker

“Please provide the date of your death.”
– From an Internal Revenue Service letter

“I was provided with additional input that was radically different from the truth. I assisted in furthering that version.”
– Military officer in hot water

“Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything.”
– One time novelist

“The road of good intentions is paved with Hell.”
– An optimistic person

“A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.”
– A philosopher

“A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.”
– A brilliant lawyer

“Antidotes are what you take to prevent dotes.”
– An aspiring doctor

“Caution: Cape does not enable user to fly.” (Batman Costume warning label)
– A dream killer

Affirmation for the Week:

“I will wear my batman/batwoman cape proudly, but I will not attempt to fly.”

Have a jocular week!
