There are three types of people...

kelnet · November 30th, 2008, 12:35 AM

...those who can count and those who can't.

How many times have you heard the old cliche: There are two types of people - those who (insert concept here) and those who can't.

Someone posted in another thread today: "There are two types of people - those who can hear the music and those who can't."
I'm not entirely sure what he meant, but it sounds deep.

So, who has some good ones? Share your "two types" lines.

There are two types of people: those who divide the world into two types of people, and those who don't.

Actually, there are 10 kinds of people in the world.

Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Actually, I think he got it from one of my T-shirts.

There are one type of people.

And none of them know for sure if the sentence above is puntuated correctly.

This is a bit off topic, but numbers related...there was an old movie - the name escapes me - but anyway, one of the cool lines was: " I have 2 words for you....shut the F#!k up!"

bowlfreshener · November 30th, 2008, 08:49 AM

I think there are 2 types of people: Pimps and Hos. You're either on top making major bank and/or in control, or you're on your knees helping someone else prosper while not getting properly compensated for doing all the dirty work...Most people have certain times where they are one or the other, a few people just get to be pimps all the time, and sadly, a few just be ho'in for life....

Now that is a unique perspective!

I once heard that there are 4 groups of people:

1) Those who like us for the right reasons
2) Those who like us for the wrong reasons
3) Those who dislike us for the wrong reasons
4) Those who dislike us for the right reasons

...and it is the last group that we need to be the most mindful of....

Two: those with loaded guns, and those who dig.

Sounds like something Ricky from The Trailer Park Boys would say...

All of these homilies are more convincing if you read 'em using a Morgan Freeman voice.

Those who can curl their tongue and those who can't. Everyone in my family can....funny thing.

I don't know why, but that really made me laugh.

I'll add one I like:

"Two kinds of people in this world, Carneys and Rubes."

SayWhat? · November 30th, 2008, 01:01 PM

Two types only.

Those you're happy to see, and those you're happy to see go away...

Though the former can often become the latter, after three days

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who hear Morgan Freeman's voice in their heads when they read this, and those who don't...

Morgan (Shawshank-era voice*):

"Well, you know Tim... there's two kindsa people in this ol' world... them that can front a pink short-scale and them that can't. Now, take ol' Andy DuFresne..."

*Which is really the same as any post Sesame Street Morgan

woodman · November 30th, 2008, 02:03 PM

there are two kinds of people: one's self, and everybody else!

that's about as definitive as i can get.

That applies to women too.
The best ones are equally nice to see walk up as they are walking away...

And NO, I'm not relating this to the Pimp and Hos post.

But there is a relation to the "knees hurting" post.
