G. K. Chesterton, a well-known Christian at one time, was once asked at a party what one book he would want with him if he was stranded on a desert island. The questioner obviously expected him to say the Bible, upon which he'd ridicule Chesterton. However, Chesterton foiled him. His answer: "Brown's Book of Shipbuilding." http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Muhammad Ali, during his heyday, was known for many things. Modesty was not among them. One day he was on a plane and they hit some turbulence, so the pilot turned on the "Fasten Seat Belts" sign. As the flight attendants went through the plane checking that everyone had theirs on, Ali did not. The flight attendant asked him to please put it on.
Ali replied, "Superman don't need no seat belt."
The flight attendant didn't miss a beat: "Superman don't need no airplane, either."

When the chicken go the rice field, they are very happy, but it is a little bit far, but when they arrive, they are happy because there is rice in the rice field, then they go back to sleep together and they make eggs on the straw and they have cheeks (some brown, some white), that is why we should not eat chicken as long as they are happy.

After WWII ended my dad and a lot of other fellows were sent back to the states. There were so many GI's comming home it took a spell to get them all processed and on trains and bus's and such so they could get home. The federal government had to keep them somewhere so they reopened some previously closed bases in the deep south. My dad and several thousand others were sent to these places. Dad said the most common phrase there became:
"If it don't move paint it."
after a few months it was modified to:
"I don't care if it does move,...paint it"

Some have asked for translations (and I corrected the one per K9STH and K7JBQ - TNX!http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
'Ergo Cogito Sum!' -- I think, therefore I am!
'Non Illigitimi Carborundum!' - Don't let the bastards grind you down.
'E Pluribus Unum' - From the Many, One! (check any U.S. Currency for this one)
'Semper.....Paratus....Fidelis'
Semper Fidelis "ALWAYS FAITHFUL' (HOOAH! U.S. MARINES)
Semper Paratus 'Always Ready' (US Coast Guard)
(I SURE HOPE I got the 2nd one right.. If I Blew it.. I humbly apologize to each and every member of the USCG!http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
'Sic Semper Tyranus!' ( I think I have that right.. it's been a while since Latin training graced my mind) - Loosely translated.. "Death to Tyrants"
'Humulus Humilibus Inflectatus Arrogantus' (Again.. may not have spelling correct) #"humble to the humble.. Inflexible to the Arrogant!"
and the last couple
'NON COMPUS MENTIS' - 'Not of sound mind'
'Carpe Per Diem!' - "Seize the Daily Stipend" (you gotta be a Government type to get the joke! The real saying is "CARPE DIEM" meaning 'Sieze The Day!'
'Sans Tache' = "Without Blemish"
These have been really funny! Here's another:
A bragging woman and a crowing hen - always comes to no good in the end. (Chinese)

FT:
Your Latin quotation works only for 1 of the male children of dubious birth (illigitimus is male singlular). Most people refer to illigitimi which is the male plural of the word.
A pretty high up executive at Motorola used to have your version on a plaque on his desk. But, it then "translated" the message and had the word translated as the plural. I just "had" to point that out. He made a paper tag that changed the "mus" to an "i"!

Al right you latin folks, I saw a program on PBS years ago where this fellow named Romer <sp> was running around the middle east and looking at stuff and saying things about it.
He went to the coliseum in Rome and found scratched in the wall some thing that he translated as roughly.
’Never let the bastards get you down.’
He thought that an early Christian probably wrote it. Can you give me the line in latin? I’d like to print it an frame it here.

I was recently in Tennessee. While I was stopped at a gas station refilling the Neon this little POC GEO Metro came burbling in to the pump across from me. The owner obviously had put more money into the fancy exhaust system and stereo than the original purchase price of the vehicle.
Anyway on the back window was a sticker that said
“Got Nitrous?”
I thought it was very amusing.

I believe that quote was from Gen. Douglas McCarther during his farewell address after being fired by President Truman. As I remember he addressed a joint session of Congress. I remember watching the address on TV but I was not very old at the time and it was a long time ago so I may be wrong on the details.

"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away" predates Mac Arthur by many years. It was just his quoting the phrase that again called it to the attention of the public.
I believe that Tennyson use it and that he got if from earlier sources. Robert E. Lee is also attributed to a similar quotation.

Sounds like a perfect translation. Its funny how quickly you can tell the difference between the tone and duration of a simple Waaaaaaa and know which is which.
