    About this ebook

    “There’s never been a better quote book for only three bucks.” —Uncle John

    In the 26-year history of the Bathroom Readers’ Institute, we have collected tens of thousands of the world’s most memorable quotations. In this e-book, you’ll find the very best of them (along with some newly-discovered utterances). From the profound to the sublime, from the witty to the stupid, after reading Mouthing Off, you’ll never be at a loss for words again! Some highlights:

     

    • Surprisingly wise celebrities, cocky rock stars, and dumb jocks
    • When commentators misspeak, and other foot-in-mouth moments
    • What Mark Twain didn’t say
    • Hollywood’s all-time weirdest acceptance speeches
    • Talk show guests deemed too mouthy for TV
    • Wacky 911 calls and court transcripts
    • Ancient quotes that still resonate today
    • Modern pearls of wisdom, including actor (and racing enthusiast) Paul Newman’s observation: “It is useless to put on your brakes when you’re upside down.”

    And much, much more!

      THE NAKED TRUTH

      We all came into this world naked. And so, too, does this e-book.

      I wish we were all naked all the time. I have always believed it’s what’s underneath that counts.

      —Celine Dion

      When you’ve seen a nude infant doing a backward somersault, you know why clothing exists.

      —Stephen Fry

      Golf is more fun than walking naked in a strange place, but not much.

      —Buddy Hackett

      When I get a reaction from people like, ‘Why do you do that?’ it makes me want to do it again and again.

      —Will Ferrell, on appearing naked in many of his films

      Beware of the naked man who offers you his shirt.

      —Navjot Singh Sidhu

      Nudity is the uniform of the other side.

      —Milan Kundera

      I think onstage nudity is disgusting, shameful, and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic, and a progressive religious experience.

      —Shelley Winters

      I’d like to see a nude opera, because when they hit those high notes, I bet you can really see it in those genitals.

      —Jack Handy

      There are those who so dislike the nude that they find something indecent in the naked truth.

      —Francis Herbert Bradley

      Modesty is a vastly overrated virtue.

      —John Kenneth Galbraith

      I come from a country [Australia] where you don’t wear clothes most of the year. I was born nude and I hope to be buried nude.

      —Elle MacPherson

      Clothes make the man, but nakedness makes the human being.

      —Kevin Kearney

      Top 6 reasons people are late to work: 1) traffic; 2) oversleeping; 3) procrastination; 4) house-hold chores; 5) car trouble; 6) having sex.

      "HE’S LOST BOTH RIGHT

      FRONT TIRES"

      British sports commentator Murray Walker is renowned for his silly—and hilarious—vocal flubs.

      The young Ralph Schumacher has been upstaged by the teenager, Jensen Button, who is twenty.

      Only a few more laps to go and then the action will begin, unless this is the action, which it is.

      There’s nothing wrong with the car except that it’s on fire.

      Just under ten seconds…call it nine point five in round figures.

      I imagine the conditions in those cars are totally unimaginable.

      Either that car is stationary, or it is on the move.

      We now have exactly the same situation as we had at the start of the race, only exactly the opposite.

      With the race half gone there is still half the race to go.

      And he’s lost both right front tires!

      And I interrupt myself to bring you this…

      Mansell is slowing it down, taking it easy. Oh no, he isn’t! It’s a lap record.

      He is shedding buckets of adrenaline in that car.

      Mansell can see him in his earphone.

      A sad ending, albeit a happy one.

      Easy Rider star Peter Fonda made an educational film about motorcycle safety called It’s Not So Easy.

      THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE

      If you want to know something important, ask a kid.

      How do two people wind up falling in love?

      Andrew, age 6: One of the people has freckles and so he finds somebody else who has freckles too.

      Mae, age 9: No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell…That’s why perfume and deodorant are so popular.

      Manuel, age 8: I think you’re supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn’t supposed to be so painful.

      What is falling in love like?

      John, age 9: Like an avalanche where you have to run for your life.

      Glenn, age 7: If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.

      How important is beauty in love?

      Anita, age 8: If you want to be loved by somebody who isn’t already in your family, it doesn’t hurt to be beautiful.

      Brian, age 7: It isn’t always just how you look. Look at me. I’m handsome like anything and I haven’t got anybody to marry me yet.

      Christine, age 9: Beauty is skin deep. But how rich you are can last a long time.

      Why do lovers hold hands?
