I realize this quote isn't real, and that I wasn't even born when it was falsely uttered, but man do I love it. I even mutter it to myself on occasion.
Yep. Every time I read it, it reminds me of quotes that were supposedly said, but weren't...and yet, they are so darned good, they just stay alive, like...
"Elementary, my dear Watson."Â Holmes never said it in the original works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
"You can see Russia from my house." What Sarah Palin actually said was "You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island." Two days later, Saturday Night Live had a little fun with it. And you can see Big Diomede (Russia) from Little Diomede (United States) on a clear day, since they are about 2.5 miles apart. You can also see Siberia from the American Air Force facility at Tin City or St. Lawrence Island, which is about 37 miles from the Russian mainland.
"Judy, Judy, Judy." Nope. Cary Grant didn't say it.
"Come with me to the Casbah."Â Ditto for Charles Boyer.
"Play it again, Sam." We all know that one. Nix.
