Anyone who knows Andy Rooney, knows he would never say any of these silly statements.

Sorry Tony, this one's been around for awhile, and it's a hoax made up by someone who is desperate to have popular celeberties on their "side".

If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.

I don't know if it's really fair to say these quotes should or should not be attributed to Andy Rooney.
The link http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/rooney3.asp is one person's opinion, posting something they believe to be correct, whether it is in fact accurate or not.
What it comes down to, and this works both for and against, is..."Don't believe everything you see on the internet, ...just because it's on the internet".

....just my thots...

Shboom
It's not just one person's opinion if it is true or not. There are quite a few sites that expose the myth. Sometimes, even the offical website of the celeberty will make a note of the fiction that is being emailed
Example:
From George Carlin's offical website: http://www.georgecarlin.com/home/home.html

There is a new bogus Carlin email circulating, which you can see here - it's utterly NOT Carlin's work. New Note [06/01]: Another bogus Carlin piece about life going backwards (also available here and 48,000 other places online). This one has also been attributed to Robert Benson and Andy Rooney. [06/01]: More lists of jokes [ie: "When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?"] being forwarded around the Internet that are not Carlin. It will never end. [07/01] Here are 3 joke lists that were not written by George Carlin: this includes the "Bad American" email that has been making the rounds. We may repeat ourselves here a little in the name of truth...)


I suppose common sense rules, and common sense tells me this is not Andy Rooney.

I know I wouldn't want to be quoted saying something completly opposite of my beliefs.

SeeYa
