    Exclamation Tricky Translations of Famous Quotes;

    Given a famous quote, you must modify it in some way, the more sarcastic the better:

    Example:

    "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears" Marc Anthony

    "Shaddup!"

    "That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet!" Juliette
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...
