Plagiarism

According to my brothers last year english teacher, one must site everything one says.

Why?

According to her, evertything that could have been thought, has been thought at one time or another by somebody at one time or another.

Think we should follow this rule?

Of course not, that would be foolish and wasteful. How would one site that anyway, if one doesn't know who said, or thought something, but thinks someone probably has?

Uh, John, it's "Cite" not "Site," isn't it? I think. Yes it is! Hmm. Well... maybe. Or is it! Oh, shut up! No really, it is cite. I think.
