At work, well amongst some of us, (mainly just Tim), at work we keep a 'Book of Quotes'. This is a book in which we write down phrases or statements that people have said and which we deem worthy of the priveledge of entering this book. (Its quite selective).
Here's a selection out of it: (I've inserted 'joe' where the person does not work with us)
