O.K. this is just for amusement. Think about it.
Here are a couple of examples to show you what I mean:
During the invasion of Iraq Donald Rumsfeld went to either Syria or Jordan (I can't remember, I think it was in Syria that he said this) and a journalist asked him a question and he said "the future has changed."
During the 1980s at a Conference leading up to the Meech Lake Accord in Toronto, then Ontario Premier Bob Rae said that the Premiers at the conference had achieved a "high degree of unanimity."
See, things like that. They don't need to be from politicians, but they seem to be so good at this kind of stuff.

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."-Donald Rumsfeld

Oscar Wilde has made me scratch my head more often.
Here is his Quote:
''There's something worse than being talked about & it is 'not being talked about'!
Another perplexing one is from Mark Twain:
" Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
- Mark Twain
Now it is time you all scratch your heads!

My two sisters and I resemble each other quite a bit. When I'm with one sister and someone comments on our looks, I like to say, "You should see my other sister. She looks even more like me than I do."
