Never assume anything -- that way, you don't make an ass out of u or me.

-unknown

I do believe that Felix Unger said in an episode of "The Odd Couple", he said "Never Assume. Because When you assume, you make and "Ass" out of "u" and "me"!

The line os used in one of the Hannibal Lector books, Red Dragon I think but it could be Silence of the Lambs. Not saying thats were it originaters from but its were I heard of it first!

This line was used in the movie "The Bad News Bears" and was uttered by Walter Matthau, whom interestingly enough was in the movie version of "The Odd Couple" but played Oscar Madison, not Felix Ungar.  At the time "The Odd Couple" TV series ran, you couldn't say "ass" on television.
