"It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, than open it and remove all doubt"

I have used that many of times. Thank you for reminding me of that one.

Just remembered another of my favorites, not original, though. A quote from Thoreau...

"Everyone should believe in something. I believe I'll go fishing."

I used to say this in my roustabout days: "I can't stand a drunk when I'm sobor, or a sobor when I'm drunk!" :drinkingbeer:

From a tool salesman who used to call on me: Sell them what they want. Then, when that doesn't work, sell them what they need.
For someone who quotes a job too low: They just don't know what they don't know.
From an old toolmaker friend describing a machine in operation : A dog that sh*ts fast doesn't sh*t for long.

I've read some good ones here that I'll try to remember.

One more from my computer science days:

"There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who can read binary, and those who cannot."

I used to have a tee shirt that said that on the front. It drove most people nuts when they would try to figure it out.

If this one doesn't make any sense to you, then you definitely fall into the category of those who cannot. So, for the benefit of those who cannot, I shall explain: In the binary numbering system, 2 is notated as 10. Remember, decimal numbers use 0 through 9, binary uses only 0 and 1.

DECIMAL	BINARY
1	0001
2	0010
3	0011
4	0100
5	0101
6	0110
7	0111
8	1000
9	1001
10	1010
11	1011
12	1100
13	1101
14	1110
15	1111

So, in effect, the tee shirt said "There are two (not ten) kinds of people in this world, those who can read binary, and those who cannot."
