This, that and the other thing 
I disagree. We mediocre people have bad days too. Lots of em!
Wow, Bumba, what a mediocre comment!
Is that the best you can do?
But then, only the best people are always mediocre.
Wait, did I say that right?
Perhaps not, but perhaps. (That’s ambivalent in a mediocre way.)

It must have been mediocre. I thought it was clever. Everyone thinks they’re special, but they can’t all be right.
You can fool some of the people some of the time…….

Love it!! You’re the only mediocre person I’ve ever even HEARD of with the WIT to admit it. Ho, ho, ho. Bumba for president.

What a wonderful way to put it! Okay, when necessary, when I’m not up to doing things right, I’ll fall back on being at my best.
You silly thing. 🙂

Oh, yes. I love that. This is also one of my favourites: “The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is given to the less talented as a consolation prize.” (Robert Hughes)
That’s a good one, too. 🙂 Thanks for sharing it.

What a super wonderful quote….Confidence is (often) the consolation prize of the untalented. Will some great WIT improve on that? Puleeze.
So many great quote, so little blog space.
