I wasn't saying that Yogi Berra actually misspoke regarding Albert (Alfred) Einstein. I was referring to Yogi's propensity to misquote famous sayings or otherwise butcher the english language. See Below:

"This is like deja vu all over again."

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

"He must have made that before he died." -- Referring to a Steve McQueen movie.

"I want to thank you for making this day necessary." -- On Yogi Berra Appreciation Day in St. Louis in 1947.

"I'd find the fellow who lost it, and, if he was poor, I'd return it." -- When asked what he would do if he found a million dollars.

"Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?"

"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."

"I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early."

"If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else."

"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."

"You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."

"Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical."

"It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much."

"Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting."

"A nickel isn't worth a dime today."

"Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded."

"It gets late early out there." -- Referring to the bad sun conditions in left field at the stadium.

"Glen Cove." -- Referring to Glenn Close on a movie review television show.

Once, Yogi's wife Carmen asked, "Yogi, you are from St. Louis, we live in New Jersey, and you played ball in New York. If you go before I do, where would you like me to have you buried?" Yogi replied, "Surprise me."

"Do you mean now?" -- When asked for the time.

I can't believe the only comment you could add to this conversation was to point out a typing error, which was corrected in a later instance of the name in my post.

Colin - you know he probably did say Alfred at one point

Love the YOGI QUOTES !!
I took my wifes car in to be washed one Saturday and asked them to Armor All the inside dash etc. but not the steering wheel. When I got in the car to leave I almost broke my knee-cap sliding forward in the seat... yes the kid AA'd the seat and I made him wash it off but I already had sat in it and it was on my jeans seat so I still had a rough time driving and keeping my butt in place!
Don't put AA on your car seats!! (or let anyone else)

That's why we have ridiculous questions on the driver's exam.

Putting armor all on the tread of your automobile tires:

A... Can be dangerous to yourself and others.

B... Looks "hella sweet"

C... All of the above.

Or the warning on the bottle of armor all:
Some time in the past, some nut said to his wife,"Honey, I wonder what this will look like on the treads".

Read the directions AND warnings people...

I reckon you'd get your ass kicked for saying something like that!


Regarding the IS300 thing, the guy was an idiot, not just for putting Armor All on his tires but for using it in the first place. Armor All is total crap. I bought a bottle of that crap once for my corolla, and it was the worst thing I ever did to that car. It's oily, it stinks, attracts dirt, and only manages to look good for about 2 minutes. 303, or in a jam, a moist towel, is much better.
