1)And good morning everybody!
2)500kb ought to be enough for anybody.
3)Ich bin ein Berliner.
4)I've had a busy year - I got shot - it 'appens...
5)We will fight them on the hills...
6)I'd like to be that thin, but not with all the flies and death and stuff.
7)I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
8)I'm not being an escape goat!

Nah 6 was what someone was (supposedly) quoted as saying. Was it Calista Flockhart?
Posted by Grim..., 17:35, 22nd August 2002:
 
Not Kate Moss or Ali McB - It was a singer.
Cal - I can't believe you didn't get 4...

Sul: whatever you may think about Ms Flockhart I can't believe you thought she would be that stupid. goddamn the quote is obviously from a Moron!!! Beside, Flockhart IS that thin, but without the flies and death and stuff. :)

squirrell100: It was definitly "I am a Donut." the type of donut is a berliner, like "Ich bin eine Hamburger" would be "I am a Hamburger". He should have said Ich bin Berliner (I am of Berlin)

I prefer

Ich bin eine untervasser panzerfahrer, haben sie mein tintenfish geserne?

Translation anyone?
Posted by chandler, 23:32, 22nd August 2002:
 
I am an underwater tank driver (?) have you seen my squid. (tintenFISCH=inky fish=squid)(?) :)
