              The Wizard of Oz one was cute.

              Yogi Berra... as usual... is retarded. How did someone so anencephalic ever become famous? Oh wait...
              The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

              I'm the least you could do
              If only life were as easy as you
              I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
              If only life were as easy as you
              I would still get screwed

                Wiki;
                Yogi Berra is famous around the non-baseball world for his pithy comments and witticisms. Many of these are in the mould of the gravedigger in Shakespeare's Hamlet, the comments of a worldly-wise philosopher who does not have the education and vocabulary to express his thoughts accurately.
                NEVER equate a lack of formal education or stylish locution with a lack of intelligence.

                Having met him twice I can attest to the fact that he is anything but anacephalic

                Once was at a charity event. At one point in the evening there was a great conversation between Sparky Anderson and Yogi, and it was certainly not one sided or between mental midgets.
