Irish footballer George Best celebrates the Irish wit in all its glory with a line that made me laugh out loud: "In 1969, I gave up women and alcohol. It was the worst 20 minutes of my life."

I like his line, "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds [women] and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
