Everyone has a favorite saying or two that they use on a regular basis. Here are a few of mine

1- 90% of the time the enemy of good is better.
2- Never judge a mans success by the number of presidents in his wallet.
3- If you would hang up that welfare radio and look at your gauges once in a while you would have less crap in
your crap sandwich each day and turn off that radio talk show garbage too.

1, If they had clues for shoes they'd be walking in bear feet.
2, If they had $hit for brains they wouldn't have enough to leave skid marks in their jocks.
3, the most useless barstard God ever shoveled guts into.

If there were two people left on this earth one of them would be busy looking for a bat to kill the other one.

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

Did your mother have any children that lived? (Y'all know the movie haha)

The secret to getting ahead is getting started.

Before you borrow money from a friend, decide which one you need more.

Never use money to measure wealth.

Is your a$$ jealous of the $hit that comes out of your mouth?

I collect quotes so I have a ton more that have made me think, laugh or feel like an idiot! Haha

Two of my fathers quotes: Son your bulldog mouth is overloading your humming bird azz. When life gives you lemons; make lemonade.

Not my saying but a former boss said this when talking about his in-laws:

"They couldn't pour pi$$ out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel!"

And one my Uncle who was a carpenter would say a lot:

"Close enough for this church!"

See he was a good Presbyterian and this saying got started while he was working on renovations at the local Catholic Church! He said it every time the Priest was within ear shot!

I've laughed at every post so far.:D

One I hear a long time from my ex-merchant marine WWII vet friend about his Uncle.
"He's so tight (cheap) you couldn't get a raisin up his A$s with a splitting maul".

And, "he'd skin a flea for it's hide and tallow".

One of the ways I describe how cheap my old man is.... He's so tight he throws nickels around like manhole covers.

If life gives you Lemons, team up with someone who has a jug or Vodka.

"Good enough for the gals I've been sleeping with"

When referencing clearances or trying to line things up: "Just a few blondes left, right, up, down etc"

Old feller I apprenticed under always used to say "put down the purse princess and hit the damn thing already!" whenever someone was being a wuss with the sledgehammer.

I absolutely can relate to these. We usually would ask ,"does your wife know you took her purse"
As far as measurements, .003 red, .007 blonde, .013 brunette, .050 or better black n curly.
Hope I didn't cross a line here. o_O
