Yogi Berra just passed away and they ran a list of “yogi-isms.” I fond that I have used a several of these over the years, or at least they’re worth a laugh!!
On selecting a restaurant: ”Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”
On how events sometimes seem to repeat themselves: ”It’s deja vu all over again!”
On fan mail: ”Never answer an anonymous letter.”
On being asked what time it was: ”You mean now?”
On a spring training drill: ”Pair off in threes.”
On his approach to playing baseball: ”Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical.”
On death: ”Always go to other people’s funerals. Otherwise they won’t go to yours.”
On learning: ”You can observe a lot by watching.”
Our dad tells the story of his mother returning home from the butcher shop during WWII and telling him that she “bought every lamb chop they had before the hoarders got there!” Sally and I use that line all the time — especially when talking about yarn. We have to buy it all before the hoarders get it!!
