 Posted: 05/05/04 - 15:35 Post subject: Dumb things you've said.
I think we've all said something dumb that, at the time, seemed logical enough, but later turned out to be something really stupid.
Probably one of the most classic lines was Bill Gates saying, "Nobody will ever need more than 640k RAM!"
Here are a couple of mine...
"I just don't see what the big deal is about the internet." After logging on for the very first time many, many moons ago.
"This place is selling $1000 bikes! They'll be out of business in no time." After stumbling into my first real bike shop almost 12 years ago. BTW - The shop is still there.

"Geez, what the hell died in here?"
To a pair of shoes peaking out from under a stall door here at work.
Thought they were my cube neighbors.
They weren't.
My boss replied "Uh yeah, it is a little rank in here"
 Oh, uh sorry 'bout that Don....

I had a friend who used to say all the time:
"This CD thing is just a fad. It'll pass really quickly" (This was in '92)
He still gets teased horribly for that one.
