message 1: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I will post a quote. It may be from a book, movie or real person. If from a book or a movie you must guess who said it and what book/movie it is from. If from a real person you just have to guess who said it.

"Tact it the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip!"-

Guess away, the person to guess right gets to put up the next quote.

Feel free to post more games!
