|Brainy Quotes has the Erma Bombeck quote for the football game slightly different. Anybody who watches three games of football in a row should be declared brain dead. Do anyone know which one is correct? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 157.203.42.40 (talk) 12:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC).


 * Perhaps they're both correct? In thousands of columns, several books, hundreds of TV appearances, several TV episodes, untold numbers of interviews, perhaps she worded a particular sentiment in a slightly different manner on one occasion or another. ;)  It's close enough that I say just leave it.

Whew! The language in this article was horrendous!
With all due respect to whoever wrote the bulk of this article (that would be "2008ana"), that person clearly is not a native English-speaker. If English is your second language, please have someone edit what you write before you post it on Wikipedia! Anyway, I've fixed the situation, though it took a long long time, and involved every sentence of the entire article. Whew! Softlavender (talk) 08:46, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
