The last quiz, A QUIZ OF QUOTATIONS 8, was won by @sexstarvedme1966 yet again!
Here's the ninth edition of a quiz about quotations, whether spoken or written (or even wrongly attributed to). Per usual, there are 10 quotations with 12 points on offer - see below.
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
“Here's Johnny!"
“This purposefully dishonest, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100 per cent fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom ... Every time I travel to the United Kingdom with President Trump and am forced to watch the BBC in our hotel rooms, it ruins my day listening to their blatant propaganda and lies about the president of the United States and all that he’s doing to make America better and the world a safer place.”
"Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus."
"The solution to 'on-line harassment' is simple: women should log off."
“As a scientist, I am hostile to fundamentalist religion because it actively debauches the scientific enterprise. It teaches us not to change our minds, and not to want to know exciting things that are available to be known. It subverts science and saps the intellect.”
“When you're weary, feeling small, When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all; I'm on your side. When times get rough And friends just can't be found.”
"I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact."
WHO REPUTEDLY SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS ABOUT WHOM? (two marks per quotation)
"Please, sir, I want some more."
“... you see, i know how dirty [first name of man] is."

@spunkycumfun
I think this winner needs to go on an honour roll somewhere . . . maybe the new trump ballroom!!
@lindoboy100 I'm sure the US President would be honoured to have such a board in his new ballroom, though it would have to be gold-played to fit in with the tasteless surroundings.
@spunkycumfun
I'd also flash my bawbag at the twat, just to add to the tastelessness!
1 Jack Nicholson.... and the one of Groucho as good as usual

One of your answers prompted me to check and correct my answer. Thanks.
@spunkycumfun I deserve the win just for THAT! 😄 Is it me or are these getting more difficult?
@CleavageFan4U I hope you win precisely for that reason.
I'm not sure that the quizes are getting harder - scoring is still relatively high. The problem I have is pitching a quiz as scores vary greatly - I don't want it too hard to put people off playing and I don't want it to easy so everyone gets maximums scores.
I know I've made the quizes more American.
@spunkycumfun I've noticed. If it's a stupid remark and I don't know I guess Trump.
@CleavageFan4U Donald Trump is a good source of quotes though his words are often a bit mangled.
