In school we had a prayer service where we used to pray to God, read the news headlines and say the thought for the day in assembly before the school started.
So one fine day it was my turn.. So, here is what I had to say.
"Intelligence is like an underwear. We all should have it, but we shouldn't show it off".
Imagine me saying this in front of at 10-15 teachers and probably at least a 1000 kids from my school. The laughter didn't stop for a good 10-15 mins. I was in 6th grade then. I am 22 now and my friends still remember that to this day. If I was any older I probably wouldn't have used that at all. But its really a great memory in all.
Thanks.

Answered Question
M$1

I'd like "Funny Sayings" for M$1 Alex.
Sorry, couldn't resist a weird Jeopardy reference there.
I'm looking for some funny sayings. I have a few on my website: http://www.rainbeforerainbows.com/humor.html
My favorites are (in case you thought this was some plug for my website, you don't have to go there to answer this question):
1. In case of emergency, break glass. Scream. Bleed to death.
2. Madness takes it's toll. Please have exact change.
3. I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
4. "For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen."
5. I had a life once... Now I have a computer and a modem.
6. Jesus Saves -- passes to Moses, shoots, SCORES!
7. I am logged in, therefore I am.
Can you top them?
Now, if I see more than 1 or two I will expect a link to the page you found them or you will be disqualified.
Also, anyone who simply copies an entire page will be disqualified. I want YOUR favorites. Pick out 3 or 3 and order them like I did. (Hey, it's my question, I'm tipping, so my rules!)
Come on, make me laugh!! (And no, this is not an effort to make you all court jesters. I simply felt like we hadn't had a fun, tipped question in a while.)

Okay, I'm not sure if you misread the question, or if you think those sayings are funny....I thought they were sweet, but not funny. However, that is only my opinion which is worth...well, right now it's worth M$1.
