Yogi Berra Quotes 2
Cryptography
In Cryptography teasers, a phrase or expressions has been encoded in some way (frequently by replacing letters with other letters). You need to figure out the encoding method and then decode the message to find the answer.Cryptography
The following quotes are all by none other than Yogi Berra himself. Can you figure them out? They all use the same code.

You should always go to other people's funerals. Otherwise they won't come to yours.I knew exactly where it was, I just couldn't find it.

Great choice in quotes!!
ONCE YOU'VE DONE ONE, THEIR ALL THE SAME. FIGURING OUT THE KEY IS NOT DIFFICULT OR INTERESTING.
IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER, AND THESE TYPE PUZZLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER A LONG TIME AGO

I enjoyed it.
To be honest I find this type of teaser a bit dull
I like the quotes. Just no patience to try and figure out each word letter by letter. Maybe next time.Good teaser, tho.
These aren't really my thing, but my kids love them! They'll be working this one on the way to their ball games this evening... Fitting. Thanks for submitting!
PS: Tough crowd this morning!
okay, I must be dumb! I have no idea how to go about cracking the code. Even when it was shown, I didn't get it
next time, can the answer include how the code works so I might stand some chance on the next teaser?
These type of puzzles are quite intriguing, although I can prefer number puzzles, myself. But, this one is Quite Awesome, none the less Keep 'em coming
Agree w/lmurray, if you've done one of these you've done them all, letter substitution is DULL. At least try a different code method or something. Next!...
I'm not really good at these, I think because I don't enjoy them very much. It's a good teaser though.
I don't think these ones should be classified as a "Brain Teaser" It dosen't take any thinking besides just filling in stuff. Just my opinion though!
I love Yogi Berra quotes! I once had a book about him that was about half full of 'em! Anyway, great teaser, I hope you make more with his "profound" statements!
I'm not too fond of these myself, either, but I think we are being a little too rough on bigSWAFF. Just don't bother doing these kinds of teasers if you don't like them, and let the people who do like to figure them out do their thing. By the way, I like the quotes.
I really agree with bandnerdnproud,If you do not like these then go back to bed and let the people who do like them ,work them
... and I'm also with bandnerdproud and lazyboy! Different strokes for different folks, Folks!!!
Thanks for the comments .
I'm going to basically say what lazy-boy said, if you don't like these teasers- don't do them. You aren't forced to do them. There are 10,000+ other teasers on this site, do a different one. Don't whine about how much you don't like cryptography, it isn't my fault that they are a bit dull. I have 100 other teasers, go check them out. It's not as if all I do is Cryptography, or all Braingle has is Cryptography. /rant

i'm not good at those ones but very cool quotes! i like yogi
Enjoyed this one. Probably very easy to anyone familiar with Yogi Berra, but I'd never heard of him. So having 'Googled' the name, I've learnt something today.
im not exactyl a "code cracker" so i dint understand it!!!
I'm*** didn't***
Sorry 4 the misspellings

As head crip for Cryptographers R Us, we again salute you Bigswaff. We dullards pride ourselves on our sharpness and love your offerings. Thanks!
Thanks for posting .
I read somewhere that the most used vowel in English is the E. With that in mind it helps in solving.I knew W: E right away.
Nice job Swaff - More please?
Hahah! I loved the quotes!
Easy and fun to do. But the quotes were the best part. Thank you.
Heh. Yogi Berra quotes are so brain-hurting. I happen to like cryptography, even if it is a bit easy to solve. Not all cryptoquotes are so easy to solve; of course, if you looked at the hint then it would be simply letter substitution, which would be boring. I would suggest hinting only 1 letter, since this would give a good place to start but wouldn't give away too much.
P.S. Posts in ALL CAPS with bad grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation hurt my eyes.

Well I myself love cryptograms! And these Yogi quotes are great. Thanks Big Swaff.
Cryptograms require some effort and brain. A lot of folks just don't "get 'em".

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T GET CRYPTOGRAMS:
I always start with the obvious. In this puzzle there was a T'L in the last quote. The only thing that could be is I'M. So every T is an I and every L is an M. Then there were a ton of Ws so one could assume those are all letter E. (E is the most common letter in the English language) From there I started looking at the words. Decipher one or two and you've got the puzzle licked. For example, _ _OU_ _ is SHOULD.
A lot of quotes start with ONE or YOU: You should never... One should always..., etc.

I also used T'L as one of my starting points, assuming it to be either I'm or I'd. I very rapidly ruled out I'd as the answer as D is relatively common and the letter L didn't feature much in the cryptogram.
Well, took some time solving these clues, but got them all! Give all those who find such cryptos too easy or uninteresting, a long rope : they can skip them! Maybe those who knew about Yogi Berra could guess the quotes easily, but I for one didnt have that advantage as I hadnt heard of him (no disrespect meant).
An interesting teaser and fun too!
