This is a little piece I've been working on, it's a collection of humourous slogans, quotes, phrases and everything in between!

Some of you may recognise some of the quotes here (after all I did compile some of them using pages here on deviantart).
However I only used the quotes I personally really thought were witty and clever. I really like just about every phrase here.

Hope you readers feel the same!


Also any feedback would be greatly appreciated, would be good to know which ones are your faves.
