Mark at WitNit has a lovely collection of some of Yogi Berra's---ahem---finest moments as an English speaker.
I must admit, Yogi's always been one of my favorites, and what's funny is that I've always thought that he wasn't far off with some of these mistakes. There is great truth to some of them. For instance:
I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house.
Yes, I know, it should be "it gets the kids out of the house," but, honestly, what frazzled mother could disagree with that?
Make sure to go on over and read. It's a good chuckle-inducer.

I think some of his errors were deliberate, but he does give one a good laugh.
I think I like this one best because, well, it kind of makes sense, which is a bit frightening.
