The things people say - I've heard loads of amusing things, whether from the TV, friends, family, or from my own gob. Sit back and enjoy...

Wedding Toast

I think the most embarrassing, yet most amusing one I remember came from Paddy.

At Jason and Liz Clark's wedding, he managed to catch his arm on a lit ciggie; so the first toast to Jason and Liz was:
'Aw JEEEZUS!!!!'

On with the quotes...

Famous last words

Apparently, 'Oh sh-t!' is the most often used phrase before someone dies... Strange but allegedly true...

There's more - when I remember.....
