To my three readers: I thought you’d like something a little more humorous after all the tough talk and serious stuff lately (Caption contest excepted):
Sam Goldwyn, an immigrant to the United States from Poland, became a famous movie producer through MGM studios. He also had a special way with the English language:
1. A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on
2. I’ll give you a definite maybe
3. We’re overpaying him, but he’s worth it
4. I never liked you, and I always will
5. Include me out
6. Don’t talk to me while I’m interrupting
7. I may not always be right, but I’m never wrong
8. Tell me, how did you love my picture?
9. Go see it and see for yourself why you shouldn’t see it
10. We have all passed a lot of water since then
11. When I want your opinion, I’ll give it to you!
12. Color television! Bah! I won’t believe it till I see it in black and white.
13. I read part of it all the way through
14. Let’s have some new cliches
15. Going to call him William? Every Tom, Dick, and Harry has the name William
16. Our comedies are not to be laughed at.
And there you have it. You didn’t ask for it, so you got it!
🙂
Update: Based on some of the early comments I have recieved on this post, I thought it might be fun to have everybody collaborate and add any "Yourselfisms" that you can come up with similar to these bits of genius from Goldwyn.
Here are some:
There are times when you just don’t have time.
Sooner or later if you don’t get it done, you won’t have to do it.
I don’t know what I don’t know, and I’m the most ignorant about what I’m ignorant about.
We went in the wrong direction far enough that we’ve come full circle.
I’m going to bend your ear and be straight with you.
I didn’t know that I always wanted to know that.
I’ll be with you immediately, in just a minute.
That project is finally finished, for now.
The older I get, the better I was, to those who weren’t there.
