Making up quotes

Recent studies show that plagiarism (giving yourself credit for something you did not say) is at an all time high, with the internet providing an abundance of quotes to anyone who would like to steal them. To rectify this situation I have decided to give back to those whose words have been stolen by giving them credit for things they did not say.

The rules of making up quotes are simple, all you need to do is write something (or for those to lazy to write, Ctrl + C can come in handy), put quotation marks around it, put one of those squiggly lines (~) under whatever you have said, and last but not least, write someone’s name next to the before mentioned squiggly line.

This material is brilliant sir! I'm sorry I didn't find this sooner...but I couldn't find your link because your older sister took it off of her Facebook status. So I have been lacking much inspirational material. UNTIL NOW.

With that said, I leave thee with a quote for the ages...

"When you're sitting on the john,
And the toilet paper's gone,
Be a man and use your hand,
Diarrhea...diarrhea."
