Yep. People Actually Said These...

Quote:"I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her." --Ellen DeGeneres

Quote:"Why is it that when we talk to God we're said to be praying, but when God talks to us we're schizophrenic?" --Lily Tomlin

From the foot-in-mouth section:

Quote:"The concept is interesting and well-formed, but in order to earn better than a 'C,' the idea must be feasible."--A Yale University management professor in response to Fred Smith's paper proposing reliable overnight delivery service. (Smith went on to found Federal Express Corp.)

It's a good thing that all those visionaries in the foot in mouth section didn't listen to the doomsayers.

Makes you wonder how many other great ideas from people who were less self confident were shot down.
