Quotes @ MikeSmit.com

Welcome to the MikeSmit.com quotes page. This is my collection of funny, ironic, corny, or otherwise amusing quotes.

Take a look around, check out the funny quote archives, and be sure to contribute your quotes.

History

I started a quotes page in the fall of 2001 to capture the quotes of my professors. Word spread quickly, and soon the original funny quotes page was receiving up to 100 unique hits each day.

Other people started capturing quotes and posting them on my page, and for a time, everyone in the Dalhousie Faculty of Computer Science was talking about the Quotes page. There were votes held and awards given for the best quotes, there were top 10 funny quotes lists, and it was good.

Sadly, those glory days couldn't last forever. After a time, the addition rate trailed off, and so did the visitors. By 2004, the page was visited only occasionally. This Mike Smit's Funny Quotes project is undertaken in the hopes of a revival of our love for quotes.

Disclaimer

These quotes are not intended to insult, demean, or otherwise attack any one. They are intended to capture and preserve great moments in the Dalhousie Faculty of Computer Science. I do my best to ensure that all quotes are accurate. Contact Mike Smit if you wish to have a quote removed.
