"The future ain't what it used to be."

 

[polysmut]

“I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary.”

On being thought of as a philosopher:

"I didn't really say everything I said."

On death:

“You should always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise, they won’t come to yours.”

"They give you cash, which is just as good as money." Aflac commercial.

...You know, it must've been my memories, but I remember his quotes more than the games he played.

Bah. Down side of getting old. {Although, I'm not that old...}

I've been using Yogi-isms since I was a kid. He was the definition of "keeping it real", long before anyone heard of keeping it real. R.I.P. Yogi.
