    Quoted from Atari_Daze:

    Mark Twain ~ "Better to remain silent & thought a fool than to open one's mouth & remove all doubt."

    Just Saying, since there are teachers in here:

    On the origin of the quote "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt," which has been wrongly attributed to both to Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain

    The earliest evidence that I was able to find was a 1907 book by Maurice Switzer. And it seems to contain a lot of original material and it includes the statement "It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it." So it's slightly different phrasing, but I believe that is what evolved to generate the modern common version.

    If you buy my overpriced pin I can guarantee you that you will no longer be a noob.

    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    I just wish some people had a better sense of humor around here. This is supposed to be a fun place. If a joke isn't for you, move on and don't cause an unnecessary stink about it.

    People like the smell of their own farts

    Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

    Speaking of which, we have a local show that's half pins and half vids and the vid guys are worse. Much heavier presence of awkward and smelly cave dwellers on their side. Almost enough to make the pinball guys look cool.

    That show is always the smelliest show ever. It draws a huge crowd that grows every year and the room(s) never gets any bigger.
