i believe that would be: “the food here is terrible” “yes, but the portions are large”

Nope.

Lady 1: Can you believe it, the food here is terrible!

Lady 2: Yeah, and the portions are so small.

[Petronski]

“People stayed away in droves.”

At a Yankees Old-Timer game, at the end, they flashed up on the scoreboard the names of all the Yankee greats who had died..

Yogi turned to Whitey Ford (as it is related by him) and said solemnly, “I hope I never see my name up there.”

The one from the Aflac Commercial:

“And they pay you cash, which is just as good as money.”

[OrioleFan]

Yes he was.

Nowadays when they retire a player who has had a long career with one team (few left), they have some sort of memento to commemorate the event. I still have my poster when Brooks Robinson retired. The picture was of Brooks autographing a ball for a kid. That’s the way he was.

From Ziva of NCIS: To make an omelet, you have to break a few legs.

We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.

BTW, why do they warn you about low water crossings?

If you fall off that roof and break both your legs, don’t come running to me.

Stengel: "Hey Yogi, what time is it ?"

Yogi: 'You mean now ?"

[llevrok]

It was either Casey or Yogi, who described a game where they got creamed - “It got late early”.

[Verginius Rufus]

Wasn’t it Yogi who was asked, “Do you want your pizza cut into six pieces or into eight?” and he said, “Better cut it into six. I don’t think I could eat eight.”

[Mr. Jeeves]

“Baseball is 90% pitching - the other half is hitting.” :)

Alvy Singer: [addressing the camera] There’s an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of ‘em says, “Boy, the food at this place is really terrible.” The other one says, “Yeah, I know; and such small portions.” Well, that’s essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it’s all over much too quickly. The... the other important joke, for me, is one that’s usually attributed to Groucho Marx; but, I think it appears originally in Freud’s “Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious,” and it goes like this - I’m paraphrasing - um, “I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member.” That’s the key joke of my adult life, in terms of my relationships with women.
