Advantages Even politicians are observant
Disadvantages none off the top of my head!
I shall appologise now for any offence that some of these quotations may cause to some of those more delicate blooms out there.
I have taken these quotations mainly from comedians an politicians, because both are very well known for being clowns and both can at times say something sensible.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is just a shame that it is a top 10, because Winston Churchill said some amazingly offensive things to people in his time.
And Albert Einstein pointed out some definate home truths and witty observations about the world we live in.
