A belated THANK YOU to Thumbup for nominating me months ago to participate in the 3-Day Quote Challenge a Day. To be more specific, it was a couple of weeks after the 4th of July (so I’m not that late). With Halloween-tinged trickery, I deliberately applied malapropism to three well-known sayings:
“When the groin gets tough, apply lotion to it.”
— Mr. Magoo (a cartoon character who has extreme myopia)
——————————————————–
“Keep your hands close and your enemas closer.”
— Book of Toilet Dilemmas (a rear book)
——————————————————-
“Two bongs won’t win the fight.”
— Chee [a Cheech-wannabee]

Thank you kindly, vcreationss, for nominating me for the Quote Challenge. Because I’ve already done this challenge, I’m doing something a little different. Three of the attributions below are fictional, while one is not. Your mission is to determine how quote challenged I am. Which one is quoted by another? The answer is at the bottom of the post.
“Happiness is a warm gum.”
— Comedian George Burns in his nineties

“Forget putting my face on the $20 bill. Just put it in my pocket.”
— a working stiff with shallow pockets

“We can’t make people change, but we can ask them for spare change.”
— the NYC naked cowboy
“Spread the table with good-looking food and no one will notice you left out the salt.”
— Julia Child
Answer: A working stiff (who happens to be an office colleague)
