IMPROMPTU PROMPTED BLOGGERISH

Time For a Profound Quotation - From Me or Somebody Else

Hmmmm -- My own inspirational quote -- I guess I do that all the time - I like to quote myself.  In my reading I run across a lot of interesting quotes - highly quotable quotes, and I always say, "Brain - remember that quote!", but my brain seems to treat quotes like it treats jokes.  When I hear a good joke I laugh hysterically and say to myself, "You're gonna have to remember that one!", but I never do.  Someone will come along and say, "Hey, Geoff! - Have you heard the one about such and such.",  and I'll say "No".  Then they tell me the joke and before they get to the punch line I remember I HAVE heard it, so then when they do tell me the punch line it isn't so funny.  So when it comes to quotes, and when I am writing something, and come up with something profound to say, sometimes I think maybe it's just a quote I am remembering from somebody else.  Well, I haven't been accused of plagiarism yet.
One interesting quote I ran across recently, which sounded like something I might say:

"I've compiled a book from the Internet.  It's a book of quotations attributed to the wrong people" -- Jerry Seinfeld
