Quick Help Needed On Quote!

[+Team Golden]

Hello,

Someone that posts here at the bottom of their posts always has a quote that is something like "Just when you think it's idiot proof along comes a smarter idiot!"

 

I need to verify the quote for a school project but can't find the quote. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Team Golden.

I'm 99.9% certain that the correct quip is:

 

"Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot"

 

I can't find who it is attributed to, if anyone. Its been used on a lot of bumperstickers, though.

Bumper stickers, etc with the "better idiot" references appear to all be hybridizations of the original Rich Cook quote at the bottom of Dru's post. At least 100 people probably lay claim to the quote, but Rich Cook is probably the original.

I'm guessing Dru has had a lot of experience with idiots!

 

One thing's for sure, the quote in question, as true to life as it may be, has been used way too much!

Mr. Snazz that is the quote I was thinking of. Thanks....

 

Dru - I don't know what to say other than where did you find all of those quotes? Wow! If I ever have any question at all I'm asking you!

 

Thanks again
