VINCE AND YOGI BERRA! CONTRAST AND COMPARE!

[mburbank]

Recently Vince thanked me fore collecting his most outrageous abuses of the English language, saying:

"I loved them because they were like the quotes that Yogi Bera used to say. Completely stupid sounding, but had deeper meaning."


I rfecently visited a compellation of Bera quotes, and while they were all funny (in content, not just in their demonstration of amazingly bad sentecne construcrion) I was at a loss to find their deeper meaning.

I'm hoping Vince will act as an interpreter here. What's the 'deeper meaning' of any of these Berra quotes:

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."

"You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."



Now, tell me what the 'deeper' meaning or failing that what's funny (beyond how bad your writing is) about these Vince quotes

"I unloaded with someone that I have never felt in my life. "

"I have medical alert bracelets, well i used to about my blood pressure when I used to have it"

"It would take far too much time that I want to spend and all would you do is argue it and insult me because that is the only thing you can do."
