In honor of the great Yogi Berra, how about some Yogi-isms?

MSN.com put together this bundle of nuggets: The 50 greatest Yogi Berra quotes

Here are a handful of my favorite Yogi-isms:

"If you don't know where you're going you might wind up someplace else."

"I never said half the things I said."

"You can observe a lot by watching."

"Half the lies they tell about me aren't true."

"The future ain't what it used to be."

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

"It's like deja vu all over again."

"No one goes there nowadays, it's too crowded."

"Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical."

"Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours."

Check out the top 50 Yogi Berra quotes at MSN.com.

And read John Archibald's tribute: Helluva ballgame Yogi Berra. Even if you didn't mean what you meant

I heard a radio spot today that told of Yogi being asked by his wife where he wanted to be buried.

His response: "I don't know--surprise me."

Related by a family member, so more than likely true.

as they seem when first read - they do make sense.

My fave - Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.
