Classic quotes from Mail Call/You Said It

Editor's note: The following items were compiled from calls received for the "Mail Call/You Said It" columns.

"I'm not a big fan of murder ..."

Whew, that's a relief. Fans of murder are almost as bad as Ravens fans.

"Back in the cave dweller days, a man could drag his woman by the hair around town."

What town was that? Bedrock?

"If you were in a coma, you'd know it."

How???

"Is there a partition we can sign to protest this?"

No, but you are welcome to come by my desk and sign the petition that separates me from my co-worker.


"You must be a real piece of cake."

Yes, I used to be a "real piece of work," but I like cake better than work, so I changed.


"Do what you do, not as I say."

That must be what today's parents are telling their unruly children.


"These people are underknowledged, and their ignorance only makes them look more ignorant."

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black . . .

"Be careful when you're under the wheel."

Well, I'm careful behind the wheel, but if I'm under the wheel, I guess it means I shouldn't have had that last Margarita.

"People who claim to have died from secondhand smoke . . ."

If ghosts are talking to you, you might want to put down whatever it is you're smoking.

"It was just the apple in the gleam in someone's eye."

I didn't know gleams had apples.

"I am in good health for the health that I'm in."

Glad to hear it, Yogi Berra.

And finally, here are a few quotes from recent graduates of the Redundancy School for Redundancy:

"Little Chihuahua."

"Dead carcasses."

Very entertaining.

I should prank call the mail call line when I've been drinking some night. Then I'll leave my name as Bobby Bruchey.
Idiot
Mail Call never disappoints.

When I read that my first thought was, I bet the people that made those calls are p!ssed off.

Don't get me wrong some of the calls are priceless, I just find it hard to believe the paper is making a joke out of some of their callers.

"I work for a local car dealership. We took a vehicle in on trade. In the car we found a cell phone. You know you hit the big time when you have a car, a cell phone, and Social Services on speed dial."

"I've been a subscriber to The Herald-Mail for 25 years, but don't you think it's time you raised the bar? Enough of these pictures: 'The Daily Mail goes on vacation.' Somebody could be standing in my back yard and say that they're at some exotic place. Please, let's have a little bit classier newspaper in this town."

I've wanted to do something like this on our forum, but everyone would get mad at me...
