"I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant".
Allen Greenspan

;)
Alan Greenspan - Wikiquote

Misattributed[edit]
  • I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant
    • Attributed to Greenspan by Rupert Cornwell, "Alan Greenspan: The buck starts here", The Independent, 27 April 2003, citing an unspecified Capitol Hill hearing. However, as Ralph Keyes notes in The Quote Verifier (2006, p. 233), "This popular tongue twister gets attributed to the obfuscator du jour." The earliest known print attribution is to Robert McCloskey, U.S. State Department spokesman, by Marvin Kalb, CBS reporter, in TV Guide, 31 March 1984, citing an unspecified press briefing during the Vietnam war.
    • Earlier attributions include: "a high government official", Annual Report, North American Gas Tax Conference, Federation of Tax Administrators, 1967; Jerry Lewis (a sign pasted on the camera during a movie shoot), by Dick Kleiner, Hollywood Correspondent, Sumter Daily Item, Feb. 4, 1970; a sign on the desk of Suzanne Schroeder, collector of bureaucratic gobbledygook, AP wire story, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, July 3, 1973; Jack Nicklaus paraphrasing Richard Nixon, by Larry Dorman, The Palm Beach Post, Dec. 8, 1979; and "a Hollywood film director", by J.D. Douglas, The Third Way, 29 December 1977. Additionally, a thesis monograph by Michael David Katz, Georgia State University, 1973 is titled with the quote.
    • On the back of the first Stealers Wheel (a band featuring Gerry Rafferty with the smash hit ''Stuck in the Middle with You'') album, a very similar statement attributed to band member Rod Coombes is found: "We know that you believe you understand what you think we said, but we are not sure you realize that what you heard is not what we meant." The album was released in 1972.

Regardless, it's an awesome quote no matter who said it or when.

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
I'm an old geezer with myopia. I can see threads on a screw but can't see the calendar across the room well enough to see the date.
so,, my mind wandering as it does often,, skipped,, tripped and fell upon a cheap mod. all we gotta do is figure out the chamber housing and then anyone can vape for $2 for the ultimate at home dripper (I think anyone can wick either style lol)

Figure out a way to put that sucker into a sippy cup and you are golden.

I know right! lol.. I was thinking about that modeling clay you can bake as a starting point. plug it into a switch box so you can turn it on /off as needed.

Just think about the online poker players who also didn't think they would be affected when they banned online poker.

We've got less than two months now, if you don't prep expect to go back to Tobacco like they want or be happy with cigalikes from big tobacco.

Can you please explain why you think people here on the forums would go back to traditional cigarette smoking? It's not as if we don't have a clue what's going on- it's the outside world that doesn't know what's about to hit them.....those are the people who need the message.

I know myself, I'm not the type that would buy off black market...FAR too uptight to do that. :facepalm:
If my vape went away, as in, if I run out of things, I'd really like to say or think that I wouldn't go back to smoking, but I really fear I would.
My DH still smokes, it doesn't bother me, or tempt me in the least, and it really hasn't since day one. I'm one of those lucky ones it didn't/doesn't bother...but, there's prob a carton and a half in the fridge now, if I was out of vape, I'd prob smoke. Sorry/ashamed to say...just being truthful. :blush:

Anyone sitting on a pile of stuff may become a little leery of newbies.
I've given so much stuff away to new vapers it ain't even funny & have more or less stopped doing it but if I were still giving stuff away, I'd have to strongly reconsider once the ish hits the fan- they'd have to be on their own- it'll become an every man for himself scenario.

If you are not interested in stocking up, why are you in a "Stockpiling" thread?
I know this question was directed towards someone else but I just had to reply......I'm interested in stocking up but I refuse to take on an end of the world mentality that many have adopted here- that's why I'm in a stockpiling thread. We went from talking about stocking up on nic & flavorings to parts & possibly machines which IMO is just overkill.
It's enough that the FDA has placed vaping in this position yet us scaring the hell out of each other regarding supplies doesn't help us either.....ijs..... :banana:
