I’ve been wanting to get some humorous quotes embroidered on my throw pillows, and I’ve only got a short list so far. It’s easiest and cheapest to get them all done at once, so I’m trying to come up with a list of about 10-15 to select from before I send them off. Ideally, they’d be vaguely “life advice” but that’s not a hard requirement. If you remember the Demotivational Posters from years ago, think “Demotivational Throw Pillows” to get an idea of what I have in mind.
Current list / examples:
- “The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination” - Garak, DS9
- “There are no bad ideas; just great ideas that go horribly wrong” - Jack Donaghy, 30 Rock
- “Never go with a hippie to a second location” - Jack Donaghy, 30 Rock
Obviously, they should be fairly short to be able to fit in the available space and shouldn’t be vulgar.
Let’s hear your suggestions, and hopefully they make the cut and provide for some fun ice breakers/conversation pieces.
As suggested by a commenter, here’s the original joke pillow that inspired me:
“Ambition is the willingness to kill the things you love and eat them in order to stay alive”
Haven’t you ever read my throw pillow?!
Scotch. It’s too early to drink it, but it is never too early to think about. - Dr Cox, Scrubs (A bit paraphrased)
I’ll have to look up some “best of Dr. Cox” quotes. I’m sure he has several gems.
Never drink scotch without water. Never drink water without scotch. –Jerry, a guy i know
Also, when you go to the bathroom in a bar he says, " Don’t come out with more than you had when you went in."
