Terry Lane, somehow still employed, absolutely destroys one of the best-known quotes of modern times:
Mark Twain, or someone else, once said: “We all grumble about the weather but nothing is done about it.” Which made us laugh because we knew then that nothing could be done about it. Well, it is no longer so funny. Now we know that there is something we can do about it …
But can something be done about Lane?
UPDATE. Paco presents other famous quotes and sayings mangled by Terry Lane:
• “Honesty is one of the better policies.”
• Nathan Hale: “I regret that, countrywise, I have a maximum of one life to give.”

• Harry Truman: “If you can’t stand the heat in the kitchen, go into the living room.”
• Winston Churchill: “I have nothing to offer, but blood, toil, tears and perspiration.”
UPDATE II. Jim Treacher:
• “Every 60 seconds there’s a baby that’s born who will grow up to be naive.”
Ross:
• “Jesus burst into tears.”
Kiwinews:
• “Was his father the same way? Because the fruit of the apple tree rarely hits the ground at a distance from the trunk.”

CraigC:
• “A suture promptly rendered saves the square root of 81.”
• “All things are equanimous as they relate to both emotional relationships and armed conflict.”

As Spiny Norman says: “What’s truly amazing is Lane gets paid good money to write that mush … and you guys produce better for free!”
