The venerable CBS News commentator has said a lot of crazy stuff over the years. We’ve compiled fifteen sayings. Can you pick out the actual Rooneyisms?
Take the Quiz: Did Andy Rooney Really Say That?
I have to disagree w/ something here.
I actually saw an escalator blocked off cuz it was out of order at the mall last weekend. It wasn’t moving, but they wouldn’t let you use it as stairs either.

An absent-minded person was standing in the middle of a busy intersection where a policeman was directing traffic, and he kept bugging the policeman because he was confused.
\Excuse me, Officer! Can you tell me how to get to the hospital?\The officer was very busy and said, \Just stand here and you’ll get there!\
