Here is one of my own I use at work quite often:

You might think you are in the groove, but you are actually in a rut.

Here is another from a fellow I worked with who was a production manager and I met with him on a monthly basis as a Production dept. safety rep. He used this one when he was getting tired of maintenance managers who couldn't prioritize safety work orders.

"He couldn't organize a woodpecker convention in Sherwood Forest."

Analog sounds so much better. I frankly can't listen to digital audio for more than a few hours without really starting to hate what I'm listening to. Even decent 24-bit digital resolution really irritates me after a while.

I like Yogi's, these are my faves


When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
You can observe a lot by just watching.
It’s like déjà vu all over again.
No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.
A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.
Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.
We made too many wrong mistakes.
Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.
You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.
You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you.
I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.
Never answer an anonymous letter.
How can you think and hit at the same time?
The future ain’t what it used to be.
It gets late early out here.
If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them.
We have deep depth.
Pair up in threes.
Why buy good luggage, you only use it when you travel.
You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.

If this is a repeat, it's a good one...

I think its disgusting and terrible how people treat Lance Armstrong, especially after winning 7 Tour de France Titles while on drugs!

I can't even find my bike when I'm on drugs. -Willie N

Two recent ones from me:

Ask not for whom the vulture circles. It circles for thee.

How come "gnat" rates a silent "g" - but "nit" does not?

Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day....Harry S. Truman

​Harry Truman once defined political correctness as the belief that you can pick up a turd by the clean end...or so I read somewhere.
