I can fall off anything.

I can't think of any more of my "famous" climbing quotes, but apparently I come up with a lot of them. A climbing partner keeps telling me that he's gonna start writing them down.

My wife made a funny quote she is always teased about when we were climbing with a bunch of guys.
"I just love jugs! I like the way they feel in my hands..."

damn, I am not the first person to quote Curt Shannon!
"Oh! You only have three more chances to flash it!" (said after I fell off a problem)
"The key to good footwork is having really strong fingers."
And one I saw from jt512, but I don't think he originate it:
"if the back of your hand touches the rock, it's not climbing."
Another I can't remember the source of (angry would know):
"I can't see how any crack you can get your whole hand in can be harder than 5.9"

An elder belayer watching a climber worry about gear placements while on lead: "Stop looking at that like you just took a sedative and climb!"

[quote "beyond_gravity"]No offence, But I hate quotes.
I think there a stupid and pointlessly ego-boosting. Any quote can be bad. Lets take....
"Never stop trying" or what ever.
I guess I should never stop gambling, cuz ya know, if I put in one more Quater I could win many Quaters!
I dont mean to offend anyone. Just my Penny x 2 [/quote]

exchange at Mayhem Cove at Tahoe:
Silas: "What should I lead for my turn?"
Me: looking at guidebook, "Let's see, you could try Mutilated Corpses..."
Silas: looking up, squinting at overhanging wall, "Well that doesn't sound like fun"
