5 Funny Quotes Lampooning Perfectionists

From Denny: While working on the Cheeky Quote Day segment on Wednesdays at The Social Poets, I was struck by how many comments have been made through the centuries about humanity's drive for perfectionism. Since I grew up around far too many annoying perfectionists that drove me crazy most of the time to the point that I used to pretend I was deaf, dumb and woefully stupid just so they would leave me alone. :)

It's healthy, in my unesteemed opinion, to have a laugh on yourself as much as lampoon humanity in general. Get a grin from this little sampling taste of what is upcoming on tomorrow's Cheeky Quote Day over at The Social Poets. Enjoy!
