Famous Quotes – Wrong people
I wanted to share a very clever and funny practise of taking famous quotes/lyrics etc and attributing it to another famous person that would suit it. I first read this on the aggregate website reddit.com, from which I selected those that I thought were the most interesting. Here is an example

Clever idea, I like it.
They are indeed
Made me laugh! 🙂
The final quote should have been attributed to Josef Mengele, who actually PERFORMED the experiments.
Otherwise, this is great!
Thanks for the feed back. I’ll change it
And you really think that attributing a quotation about experimentation to Josef Mengele is funny.
its dark humour, so yes
