All hat and no cattle.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

On occasion we tell our ground hands, we need you from the neck down.

My grandpa used to say this about people who couldn't shoot. "He couldn't hit a bull in the a$$ with a bass fiddle".

Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

They had to burn down the school to get him out of third grade. :p:D

When I worked for a company installing well pumps and water treatment equipment, the other technician always used to say "Looks good from my house!" When we finished an install in a customer's house. I laughed everytime.

At work "no guts- no glory" (just got to use it on junkyard!)

"dumber than a box of rocks"

"If it aint broke- you aint trying"

"you just need a bigger hammer"

" Happiness is a warm puppy ....... - said the anaconda lying on the sidewalk.."


And last but not least: to my wife when working on any house hold project--

"It doesn't look to bad now, and kinda works. It may look worse, and not work at all when I'm done- are you sure you want me to fix it?" ( I know its long, but she says we need to communicate more)

Couldn't find his a$$ with both hands.

I'd rather shove a wet noodle up a wildcat's a$$ in a phone booth than....(insert unsavory task here)

That's better than comfortable shoes and a warm place to crap

My gut was so tore up I could $hit through a screen door.....

If we don't see you in the future, we'll see you in the pasture.

Don't $#!t where you eat.
Ain't no thread like a cross-thread.
That looks like the south end of a north bound goat.
Man, that thing shines like a diamond in a goat's ass.
Raining like a cow pi$$ing on a flat rock.
Smear some grease on it and get back to it, Nancy!
Walk it off, ya baby!
In my day, we would.....
I know you all can finish that last one.
