Michael Vick - talented quarterback and dog killer - commenting on his athletic prowess was quoted in Sports Illustrated thusly:

"I have two weapons – my legs, my arm and my brains."

Gee, wonder which one he forgot to count?

I do feel sorry for those in the public eye. Anything they say can, and most likely will, be used against them. There are no second takes on what you say in public - just lots of instant reply.

Perhaps the best advice is:

It is better to remain silent and have people think you’re a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
