OK, times up for this one. Here's the answer:

"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."

said by The Man in Black in "The Princess Bride"


Soooo, how about this one?

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."

All you ATC folks should get that one; hint, hint.

You're a donut? Sort of, no hole in a Berliner Pfannkuchen[FONT=arial, sans-serif].[/FONT] JFK again and it literally translates that he is a pastry but my German was/is pretty bad too.

You got it, PO. You're up.

I looked back but didn't find the rules about how famous the quoted entity must be. So I should pass. But for now:

You'll go to hell in a hand basket.

Hmmm, doesn't look like anyone is getting this one. You may have to give us a hint. We hear it all the time, but where does it come from? I don't know. It doesn't sound like a movie. I'd guess it was said by some politician or military commander.

I had forgotten all about this post. Though the person quoted is a specific person, many other people in the same position may have said it. The person quoted is a relative.

I remember my Father saying that about the USA way back in the 1950s, he was right.

I have heard and used this phrase, as well. Did not know its origin ... found lots of history via Google, but I assume that's not allowed?

The way I understand it if there's no answer in a reasonable time you can start another one and/or look up the answer! Malyla did it in the past and it's her thread.

Since no one else is going to do anything, here is a quote.

"I like the way you talk".

Hint: It's from a movie.

Could not reply today at work due to social network ban but NNuut got it. The answer was "my father" but most people of a certain age fathers said it. Over and over. So anyones father would be what I had in mind.

Whatever, time is up and I concede to those who no longer work or can log in to forums at work.
