I took all of these from another thread (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123658353) and alphabetized them for easier reading. Some of them are more for fun than practical use but we all need a laugh every now and then. If you want to see who is credited with adding them to the list click here (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123658353).

If you have some that need to be added to the list then post them or PM me (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=26137) and I'll get it updated. I want to keep this first post as the master list.
