Following A QUIZ OF QUOTATIONS 1 (won by @sexstarvedme1966) and A QUIZ OF QUOTATIONS 2 (jointly won by @sexstarvedme1966 and @superbjversion2), here's a third quiz about quotations, whether spoken or written (or even wrongly attributed to).
I've really tried to dumb it down with this quiz. And when I say dumbed down, I don't mean that in any disparaging way. I've just tried to make the quiz easier. The quotations are more contemporary and more American.
For this edition of the quiz, there are 10 quotations with 12 points on offer - see below. Good luck!
WHO SAID THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO REPUTEDLY SAID THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO SAID THIS ABOUT WHOM? (two marks per quotation)
A coveted top prize, either a Milton Jones or a Tim Vine joke, will be awarded to the person who gives the most correct answers in the quickest time.
No cheating. Correct answers will be revealed in three days time on Sunday, 28 September 2025.
PS. Above and below are jokes from George Carlin and Joan Rivers respectively.

Thanks for playing. You scored 8 points. If you scroll down, you'll be able to see the correct answers.
I commented here, but it seems to have gone into the ether - must be under review . . . oh well!
Yet another site mystery. If you want to know the correct answers, just scroll below.
@spunkycumfun
I said some shite about getting 14 out of 10 without cheating and having the highest IQ ever of any blogger in the universe . . . it seemed to be benign sarcasm in my usual way.
@lindoboy100 That doesn't breach the site's terms of use though its terms aren't its real terms.
I'm still waiting after a couple of weeks for the site's CEO to approve my comments on his blog post. It seems he's not that open to communication and dialogue!
@spunkycumfun
Yep, sometimes I think 'better the devil you know' . . . than I remember who he funded.
I put what I thought was a very polite comment on @Brock's post but I've never had a reply, I suspect it wasn't approved either. No idea why not.
@lindoboy100 I don't think the CEO, unlike the founder, is remotely interested in blogland - just look who the CEO appointed as so-called ambassadors, who have since failed to be ambassadors in terms of seriously reaching out. They're a Dating side cam couple, which I guess is why the CEO in his last blog post did a poll of the time zones for Americans only to complete. I think it's more of the 'join the site today and get laid tonight' nonsense. So much for an adult social media site!
@spunkycumfun
I actually got a response last night . . . but it's a fairly standard response from SiteSupport . . . nothing at all from Brock. I'm sure he's a busy fellow, but why put that kind of post out there if you're not going to respond directly, why not make the announcement on the SiteSupport blog?
As for the new ambassadors, if they're on the dating side and Brock's looking to encourage some of their followers to play a more active part in the community, perhaps that's not a bad thing for us. I guess there's a danger though that by singling out the happy couple for special privilege it is likely to lead to resentment (as it already has in some). Speaking personally, I wish them and the site well in this particular endeavour and if there's anything I can do to help them build towards a stronger more diverse community then I certainly will. Perhaps I should post that over there, but yeah, pre-approved comments take an age to appear, seemingly.
@lindoboy100 I hope the new ambassadors are successful, though my hopes aren't high. The site has a tendency to over-promise and under-deliver.
HA. Number 6 was just a few days ago. Donald Trump at Charlie Kirk’s funeral.
I'll tell you on Sunday if you're correct.

Recognized the Flinstone and Bond reference.
The Joan Rivers joke reminded me I say a performance by her from when she was getting started and not as famous last night. It was on a Carol Burnett rerun. He bit was before her "Can we talk?" Phase.
I also remember the Carlin bit. Which reminds me I need to go. I need more Stuff. LOL
I saw Joan Rivers live, though towards the end of her career. She was hilarious.
