1. The following statement is true

or possibly the horns of a dilemma.

3. Look, if you are trying ...

to upstage Dumsfield on the Foot-In-The-Mouth award, you can forget it. The unknown-unknown speach is unbeatable.

Better luck next year. And remember there is a lot of time for him to contribute more samples in the next year. You have your work cut out for you.

6. And then I wrote...

Last July I tried to out-Rummy Rummy:

"Verbal Memo
From: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
To: All print, broadcast, and internet media
Subject: UNKNOWNS

Listen up, people. I'll try to put this into words that even you can understand.

1. Known Unknowns - Things that we know we don't know.
2. Probable Known Unknowns - Things that we think we know that we don't know.
3. Unknown Unknowns - Thing that we don't know that we don't know.
4. Probable Unknown Unknowns - Things we think we don't know that we know, but are not absolutely positive that we don't know that we don't know yet.
5. Things We Should Have Known - That's classified.
6. Things You Knew We Knew - See 5. above.
7. Things You Were Pretty Sure we Knew, or Should Have Known - See 5. above.
8. Things We Didn't Have a Clue About and Still Don't Care - See 5. above.

Henceforth, to keep these press conferences brief and orderly, when answering any questions from the media which are prefaced with the phrase "When did you know____", I'll simply answer with the number from the above list that applies.
Are we clear?
OK. Dan?"

"Mr. Secretary? When did you know that the president was lying about 'yellowcake' uranium in his state of the union address?"

"Number 8. Next question?"

4. Things are not as they seem -

nor are they otherwise.

[trof]

7. now THAT's deep

[tekriter]

5. Just remember - wherever you go...

there you are.

9. And..

if you don't know where you are going you might end up somewhere else.
Yogisms: When you come to the fork in the road take it. If folks don't want to come to the ball park nobody's going to stop them. Ninety per cent of the game is luck, and the other half is skill. If you don't know where you're going any road will take you there. Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore, it's too crowded. And my favorite,"I'm not in no slump, I just aint hittin' right now."

10. Shades of Glen Hubbel.

Naw, you don't know him. Guy I used to fly with. I called him The Master of the Obvious. Cracked me up.

We'd get into the hotel van for the airport: "Driver, we'd like to go to the airport."

The ramp bus pulls up to within 1 foot of the stairs to the aircraft: "That's close enough, driver. We can walk from here."

His favorite was "no matter where you are..."

[Aristus]

8. I'm nobody. Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?
