This is so not PC, but-

Can't remember where I read this, but...

Thank you Ducati for an awesome post, can't decide on a "favourite" so I did a couple.

"Yes I am a pirate...................200 years too late."
"Give me a tall ship...........................and a star to sail her by."
" It is not a democracy sir, it is a dictatorship. And as long as our little island remains afloat, I shall be considered your King."
