“It is socially accepted as something that falls within the realm of being occupationally necessary and appropriate,”

Japan’s health and labour minister, Takumi Nemoto, commenting on the fact that most Japanese companies insist women wear high heels to work.

:rolleyes3:
Hey, well, if he thinks it's so "occupationally necessary and appropriate" I invite HIM to try it. (With all due respect.):fuming:

''Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.''
Marion Barry (former mayor of Washington DC)

''If I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. That's a good-looking mummy.''
Bill Clinton (speaking about "Juanita" an Incan Mummy on display at the National Geographic museum.)
Oh, Bill. BILL. A long time ago I had a bootleg Jackson Browne recording. There was a song on it called, "You Just Want Meat, You Don't Want Me." I'll leave it to the imagination as to what that song might have been about. But suffice to say it is entirely appropriate as a response to that quote. :nono: *And to anyone trying to find it, be forewarned: XXX rated.*

"We're not going to make America great again. It was never that great ... "

~ New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo

''My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.''

— Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) expressing concern during a congressional hearing that the presence of a large number of American soldiers might upend the island of Guam
''Facts are stupid things.''
~ Ronald Reagan

:bluedragonfly: And of course we must include the most famous quote in world history ...:clover:
"You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p*:censored:*sy. You can do anything."

~ Donald J Trump · USA

What.....I don't even have the words for how blitheringly stupid that is.

"We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."
Pelosi
That one literally made me hit my forehead on my desk when I first heard it. I had hoped I'd never hear it again so I could forget about it.

In cyberspace, nothing EVER disappears and our collective punishment is that nothing EVER completely exits our poor, overworked, befuddled brains. :sigh:

I have laughed out loud at some of these posts. :spew:Good thing I am not drinking Pepsi right now. My meager addition comes courtesy of Dan Quayle:

"Add one little bit on the end...Think of 'potato,' how's it spelled? You're right phonetically, but what else...? There ya' go...all right!"
—"correcting" a student's correct spelling of the word "potato" during a spelling bee at an elementary school (he told the student to add an "e" at the end)
