Clever sig lines.
 
Has this been brought up? I visit a few forums and have seen some great sig lines along with a lot of stupid ones. The best one recently was:

“I can build anything you want if you draw a picture of it on the back of a big enough check.”

— I love it.

From a pool posting board.

Look how hard this easy game is.

and:

a Scotty Townsend (may he RIP) quote:

"I've never been beat. I just ran out of money to bet."

Take everything with a tablespoon of salt.

I'm a software developer and I give a similar line when asked if I can do something. I generally say: "Given unlimited time and money, I can make the software do anything." It's then that I learn about the constraints I will be operating under.

Another related one I will throw out is: "Time....cost....quality....you can pick two."

I always liked this one: “There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t”.

Variation by us ex-racers: "the faster I was."

Noah930 08-27-2019 09:14 AM

Grady Clay's sig line. Saw it on the torsion tube replacement thread over on the Technical forum and thought of this thread. He's still contributing to Pelican to this day. :)

I just fixed yers instead of retyping :)

Quite a good idea.

"I'll be back"
Arnold stole it from J.C.

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

saw this bumper sticker on a truck at Lowe's but could be used as a sig. -

"I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy"

"Any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic".

I believe that Arthur C. Clarke said it first

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"

spuggy 08-30-2019 09:02 AM

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...

pwd72s 08-30-2019 09:31 AM

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

Zeke 08-30-2019 10:35 AM

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”
