Huh? (Part 3) Think before

| Can anyone really be this stupid? I guess so, but it seems
like a person would have to work hard to come up with some of this
stuff. Just think, some of these idiots are role models
and heroes. Not for me (other than Marty Moronwig of course) "I would do the same thing if I had to do it
over again." Mart Morningwig after the Lions lost after choosing to kickoff
after winning the toss in overtime.

the Parthenon during his visit to Greece: "I can't really remember the names
of the clubs that we went to."
Shaquille O'Neal, on his lack of championships: "I've won at every level,
except college and pro."

darker."
Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson hooking up again with

| Clemson recruit Ray Forsythe, who was

the abnormal number of Longhorn injuries that season resulted from poor
