I've set up my site to blurt out a Fun / Wise / Useful quote on first visit.
If you have some good ones that needs to be said: post them here.
My favorites that were stated by some of my clan members over the Ventrilo voice channel:
[FFisON] Alf wrote:The one that survives the longest, is the best.
(Think about that the next time you write "BOOOORING" or "ZZZZZZZZZZZZ" in the consol because you got killed first and have to wait for 4 minutes until next round)
[FFisON] ToTAL wrote:STAND STILL when I'm shooting at you!
(We have all had that kind of day, right?)

Jakc Handy Quotes:
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."
The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
I bet it's hard to break farmers of the old superstitions like "Tornado got Old Yeller, stay in the cellar."
I think there should be something in science called the "reindeer effect." I don't know what it would be, but I think it'd be good to hear someone say, "Gentlemen, what we have here is a terrifying example of the reindeer effect."
