Choice quote of the night:
Friend A: “Celibacy is just like veganism. It’s just a phase that people go through.”
Friend B: “Oh yeah? I date one of them.”
One I recall reading went something like: Abstinence is fine as long as its used in moderation.
I could have sworn that was a Yogi Berra quote, but it appears not!
Who is the Yogi imposter?
OK, so you made me look harder. Here’s the quote:
“Abstinence is a good thing if practiced in moderation.”
Comes from a pretty funny book called “Anguished English, An Anthology of Accidental Assaults Upon Our Language” (a Laurel book published by Dell, 1987), by Richard Lederer, who unfortunately doesn’t say where he got the quote. Maybe, as one quote source says, it’s because the author is the famous Unknown.
