Re: Old sayings or sayings from old folks
My dad used to tell me...
"If you are going to do something half assed, don't do it." I tell myself that every time I take on a new project.

Re: Old sayings or sayings from old folks
“ if it broke, bent, pissed on, or ****ed up, it aint mine”
Me to my employees.... “ you ain’t late until you get here after I do “ “ if I was any better, they’d have to split me in two” “Sorry I’m late, I had a hard time driving this morning. I was so happy coming to work, I had to sit on both hands to keep from waving at everyone” Me to my ex-wife “her boobs keep staring at my eyes and it’s aggravating the **** outta me!” |

Re: Old sayings or sayings from old folks
Oh and my late Ex-father in law used to say.... “ I wished I had it and you had one just a little better!”
And “ hey, you asked me if you could marry her, not the other way around!” |

"Butterface" - Everything about her is beautiful...
"Slicker than bird s#@t on a frosty tree limb" - This one came from my old boss, Richard who had two brothers named Thomas and Harold -- Tom, Dick and Harry. I kid you not.

Re: Old sayings or sayings from old folks
"one can short of a six pack" was dads nice way of saying somebody was stupid or crazy.
I had a friend he absolutely despised, he was refereed to as "Waste of Sperm".
