No, I had no problem communicating with Latin American heads of state -
though now I do wish I had paid more attention to Latin when I was in
high school.

...Buzz Lukens took that fateful step...
		-- Vice President Dan Quayle confusing the sexual
                   assaulter/congressman with Astronaut Buzz Aldren.

Dan Quayle was in South America and was presented with an empty box
that was to contain a gift from a sailing team.  He was told
that the gift was not ready yet, and that it would be presented
to him when they arrived in the United States. 
Qauyle said: "Ok, I won't open it until then."

During the White House Easter Egg Roll of 1991, Quayle signed autographs
using only his finger. He had prepared pre-signed cards which his aides
handed out while he made signing gestures. This allowed him
to move briskly and efficiently through the crowd, said his spokesman.

Dan Quale, in April 1991, was concerned that his advisors
may be getting out of touch with "Real Americans." In order
to combat this, he suggested that they read People magazine.

People that are really very wierd can get into sensative positions
and have a tremendous impact on history.

I stand by all the misstatements that I've made.

I'm going to be a vice president very much like George Bush was. 
He proved to be a very effective vice president, perhaps the most effective
we've had in a couple of hundred years.

The loss of life will be irreplaceable.

[Remarks to oil spill clean-up workers]:

  "It's a very valuable function and requirement that you're performing,  
   so have a great day and keep a stiff upper lip."

  "The President is going to benefit from me reporting directly to him
   when I arrive."
