I just heard this 5 mins ago, i hadta laugh out loud...
"..he was really tall, fair, with long blonde hair; like Hitler or something"

I appreciate what she meant but it was just stupid sounding.

One of my lectures once said, "giving the European constitution to the Irish is like giving an iPod to someone who already has a cd player; whereas, giving the eu constitution to the British is like giving an iPod to someone in the desert"...Ha!

I'd love to know what she meant.

He was referring to the fact that ireland already has a written constitution and Britain doesn't

That's a pretty lame and longwinded effort at putting that message across. Just because the UK don't have a single written document...*yawn*.

Film quote that I think sums this up well

Make like a tree and get out of here

some I got in an email:

"I don’t want anybody stepping on anybody else’s thunder."

"You can't pull the sheep over my eyes!"

"I'm thinking in my brain."

"What is that disease where if someone loses a lot of blood they just die?"

"Clean as a baby's bottom."

"I don't mean to take the steam out of your sails, but..."

"She has not seen one red dime from him."

"I used to be as sharp as a button."

"That'll put the monkey in your court."

"We don't want this project to snowball into a can of worms."

"... up the creek in a hand bag."

"It's best not to open that can of wax."

"Let’s pair up into threes."

"I just thought myself into a corner."

"We really need to hang on to our coattails to ride the waves of change."

"That way I can kill two bricks with one stone."

Biff says it in Back to The Future II and I claim my £10...!

And It's Biff's Grandson after saying it he gets a slap from old Biff

][cEMAN**

It's not Biff's grandson lol

It's Biff (old biff from the future) who goes back in time to meet up with himself as a kid. (unless you're talking about the future 80's theme cafe with his actual grandson. I can't remember if he says it in here or not. I thought that was mostly about chickens).

BTW, it was originally in the first Back to the Future. It just got repeated when they went back there in the second film.

I heard some guy say "as gay as jesus" one time.
When asked what the hell he was talking about he said "Is that not it? Well it's something holy!"

Apologies to peckerhead I just remembered the old guy doing the head slap thing.

If only it were like time cop with that gelatinous ball of goo thing then there would have been no confusion.
