Unquotable:Mark Twain

“Often, quotes not actually written or spoken by Mark Twain are attributed to him, because it lends those quotes an undeserved respect. Not this one, though. He must have said this one. I mean, look, it has his name after it and everything.”


"I'll finish these lyrics in the mornin', Shania darlin'... Right now, I'm in need of some Nyquil."
"Stop appearing in quotes pages, I must."

In 8,000 B.C. (or roughly 2 A.C., After Cheese), the United States of America tried to make the false attribution of quotes to Mark Twain its national sport, but Congress voted down the proposal in favor of more American things, such as kitten hurling battles, Baseball, Sex, Shopping, and bombing Third World countries.

The actual creation of false Mark Twain quotes involves two things: words, and a voice similar to that of old-timey movie sidekick Walter Brennan. If neither of these items are at your disposal, you can always try a bear trap and some fried sushi.

It is also wise to remember that you're dealing with the mind that actually came up with such things as, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." So you're going to have to be pretty damn funny to even come close to the real thing, bitch.
