I find it interesting that some people thought that mine was not a legitimate misquote. Upon further consideration, I am confident that IT IS a misquote. In fact, I believe it is doubly so:
By definition, a “fork in the road” is a common metaphor, based on a literal expression, for a deciding moment in life or history when a major choice of options is required. As for the origin of this expression, I know it goes at least as far back as the book of Ezekiel (21:19-23).
1) Clearly the statement of Yogi Berra (my title) is a misquote of this common metaphor, as he attempts to add advice that is nonsensical (i.e. take it).
2) Further, my photograph is visual pun (albeit unoriginal), misquoting what was truly meant by this metaphor.
As I see it, Yogi and I BOTH misquoted the original intent.

lol a nice image that has taught me something too - as an Englishman I had no idea who Yogi Berra was until this. Thanks for providing me with 10 min of google fun.
