This somehow brought to mind an "original" saying of mine (the """s implying 
sarcasm, and therefore that I understand the saying is likely NOT unique):

"I'm unique, just like everyone else." I'd also note that this concept seems 
to be a major element of preschool and kindergarten curricula, apparently 
needing pounding into tyke's heads, lest they be led astray.
