There are brand new old sayings that I love to use from time to time. Some of them are designed to make you think, some to distract and some just to irritate (my specialty). Here are a few:
Surely a person as intelligent as you can see that I'm right.
I wouldn't be as old as I am if I had started a little later.
Everything you need to know about God is found in the Word of God. Nothing you need to know about God is NOT found in the Word of God. Everything you THINK you know about God that's not in the Word of God you just made up.
When approaching an intersection it helps to know whether you should be in the left left lane or the right left lane.
It wouldn't be this hot if it were a little cooler than it is.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary, go ahead and do it.
If you were half as smart as you are smartie, you wouldn't be as dumb as you're gonna be if you don't wise up.
I'm so brilliant my father used to call me sun.
Subjects and predicates should agree in voice, mood, tense, person and number...every other letter of the words VoMiT PaN.
It isn't about you.
I took a short-cut through a strawberry patch. It was sort of a strawberry short-cut.
I'm not afraid to admit when I am wrong. One does not have to fear that which never happens.
In the nick of time, so-and-so stepped in. We don't know what he(she) stepped in but he(she) saved the day.
History repeats itself. Does it also mumble?
My personal favorite: You can disagree with me if you want to. This is America...you have the right to be wrong.

Are you related to Yogi Berra?
No, but I used to watch his cartoons a lot.
How come so many of these revolve around how smart you are? How about this one: Boy, I am so smart/pretty/handsome/charming and humble too.:)
One of my 'favourites' is "I'll know the answer when I hear it..." Umm, of course you will lol.
As I read, I thought you covered them all, but then one more popped into my head. See, 'I'm not as dumb as you look.'
