Caldwell B. Cladwell is fond of saying this to summarize a situation or close an argument. Below is what he said the very first time I heard him use this expression.

"There are two kinds of people in this world: people who shop at Target and people who shop at Wal-Mart."

How would YOU end the sentence "There are two kinds of people in this world...."?

I thought this was gonna be about Mink Stole's line in Pink Flamingos, "...my kind of people and assholes. I'm pretty sure you know which category you fit into."

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who see a glass half empty and those who see the glass half full.

My favorite was always:

"There are three kinds of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't.

when i got my tattoo, they gave me a bumper sticker that said "there are two kinds of people in this world: those who have tattoos and those who don't. the only difference is that tattooed people are cooler and can probably kick your ass."

Papa took my answer.

I'll just pick another TGTBaTU quote.

"There are two kinds of people in the world, my friend. Those who come in by the door, and those who come in by the weendow."

Robert Benchley: "There are two kinds of people in the world: those who divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't."

Yes, PJ, I have always liked that one. Caldwell is very Peter Benchleyesque now that you mention it.

Mr. Cladwell is also a bit like John Adams..

"There are only two creatures of value on the face of the earth: those with the commitment, and those who require the commitment of others." -- John Adams

There are two kinds of people in this world, winners and losers. A winner makes commitments, a loser makes promises. A winner listens, and a loser just waits until it's his turn to talk. When a winner makes a mistake, he says, "I was wrong." When a loser makes a mistake, he says,"But it's not my fault."

Well, if y'all are going to STEAL all the TGTBaTU quotes, then I'll just be forced to pull out this old chestnut.

There are 10 types of people in the world. People who understand binary, and people who don't.

I once had to explain this one to someone who considered himself geeky. He still considers himself geeky, but now considers me INFINITELY geekier than he is.

Since this is a Broadway board and all...

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who listen to soundtracks and those who listen to cast recordings.

Weez, I officially love you! That's my favourite yet.

There are two kinds of people in the world: morning people and night people.

I am definitely NOT a morning person. (P.S. Good morning!!!)

[Weez]

Posted: 7/3/08 at 8:33am

Another Not-A-Morning person here. The only morning I can deal with is 1am, 2am, and similar early morning.

There are two kinds of people in this world - deranged 1776 fans, and people who are kinda scared of the idea of deranged 1776 fans.

There are two kinds of people in this world - people who don't know 'Floyd Collins', and people who wish they'd found 'Floyd Collins' sooner.
