I have a photographic memory, but I never developed it.

I believe that Arthur C. Clarke said it first

You can't tell the price of pork chops by looking up the pig's ass.

A variation on that that I always like to use:

I have a mind like a steel trap. Everything that goes in gets mangled.

I have heard a similar line:

"I maybe fat but you are ugly and I can always go on a diet"

I always thought the "I'm drunk but you're ugly" line was Churchill. But if he ever said it, he stole it from WC Fields, who ripped it off from someone else. Turns out it's a very old joke... https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/08/17/sober-tomorrow/

Disappointingly, seems the same is true of almost every "Churchill" quote I really liked...

another from a pool website. Applies to Golf or bowling as well.

I'd have won that tournament if all those better players hadn't shown up

Some good lines here but somehow I don't think all of them were found as a sig line. If it's quotes in general you are telling, well, there are hundreds of 1000's.

Here's another one from the electrical forum I belong to:

They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me —
I can't help it if I'm lucky


...and another

If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time!

That’s not an original sig line either. It’s a lyric from a Bob Dylan song called “Idiot Wind”
