    Half because the Bush thread got me thinking along these lines, half because I was asked to define malapropisms, and half because I just love these things, I thought I would post some of the best misspoken phrases I've ever heard someone not say right...


    Yogi Berra...

    *When the NY Mayor's wife commented that Berra looked rather cool in his new suit, he responded " Thanks ma'am...you don't look so hot yourself."

    *"Baseball is 90% mental...and the other half is physical."

    * " Nobody goes there anymore 'cause it's too crowded."

    * "It gets late early around here."

    * And my all time favorite...after failing yet another grade school test, Yogi was asked by his teacher... " Mr. Berra, don't you know anything?" To which he responded... " Ma'am, I don't even suspect anything."

    Casey Stengel...

    * " All right you guys, I want you to line up alphabetically according to height."

    * " We're so bad, if we got any worse we'd almost be good."

    That's all for now...gotta run...Looking forward to hearing new ones...

    Another of Yogi's: "I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous."
