There could be some guy like me that thinks it is funny to make up weird quotes and attribute them to famous historical people.

I believe it was Douglas MacArthur that said "I am firmly aware that I'm not coming back and don't even intend to. Up the Irons!".
Are you sure it wasn't Bruce Dickenson

Could be,
I think he is the big West Ham United fan and they are called the Irons. It took me considerable time to learn that. Thankfully in time to include it in this thread. Thus averting catastrophe and subverting true scholarship and intellectual development.

You know...now that I think about it...it may have been Ozzy

I watched the movie the Passengers from 2016 this afternoon. A science fiction movie with Jennifer Lawrence, Christ Pratt, Michael Sheen and Laurence Fishburne. I ended up watching it completely by accident. Fell asleep while watching something else and woke up in the middle of the movie. I started it over and it turned out to be a rather interesting film. Jennifer Lawrence is quite smashing.

True.... or at the very least cause confusion
It is strange that I was thinking about this yesterday, but I recalled an event some years ago when I was moving out of an apartment and talking with the maintenance crew while clearing my stuff out of the place. The head maintenance guy was talking about how they would miss me and mentioned a past event where they were working on something for me and I brought a case of beer for the crew.

I had no idea what he was talking about, then or now. At the time I couldn't be certain he wasn't messing with me or simply misremembering, but I saw no point in trying to contradict him. It would have made things more confusing and been of no benefit to reject the story. Sometimes, moving on and leaving the confusing behind is also a good move.

In my job for the last 1,000,000 years I have had multiple conversations with folks about their IT issues and then I see the completely glazed over look of complete and utter confusion, but they keep nodding yes..... there are times I stop and simplify...and there are times I just keep going on....depends on who it is....

Many Many years ago.... over a 1,000,000 years, when I was in high school, I knew a guy who was a auto mechanic expert...at least that is what he wanted everyone to believe.... one day after class he was having issues and I told him it was his Foozhalator valve.... and walked away.... about a year later when I was in trade school for auto mechanics and working on cars on the side, I went to a local parts store and the guys in there were telling stories and laughing like crazy.... Then they told the story of the idiot who came in to get a Foozhalator valve.... we all laughed, and then I asked him if he looked liked a guy I knew, after I described him they said yes.... I then told him I'm the one that sent him here for the Foozhalator valve.... more laughing
