Memory's Malaprops:1

Mr. Malaprop is the name when it comes to quotes. Debating another chappie about some obscure political issue, I decided to quote Ronald Reagan. This is what happened when my opponent interrupted me. I said: " Mr. Gorbahev,... I paid for this microphone !! " being a combination of the remark in a presidential debate about paying for microphones and the one about Mr. Gorbachev tearing the Berlin wall down. I was always a Goldwater Conservative. A Reagan Conservative, I must admit, I always believed sort of thought of themselves as having that same big smile and that lush head of hair as the Gipper, and not to many deep political thoughts. Perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps not.
