That reminds me of my second house. I seldom go there. But there are some dope dealers across the street and they don't want any attention. People come and go all the time. I know what they are doing.

But no one goes near my place. It's in their territory. It's the best alarm system that I could have. And they're really quiet. I've never had a problem with them. They just smile and wave.

Re: Old sayings or sayings from old folks

Busier than a one legged cat in a $&^^ covering contest.

My dad would say this about a particular politician: "That gal would rather climb a tree and tell a lie than tell the truth standing on the ground."

Local reference: It's hotter than a Stihl chainsaw in a Paragould pawnshop.

A colleague of mine in a meeting and someone made the statement "But we've always done it that way." His response was, "Have you ever considered you've always done it wrong?"

If you think you can or think you can't - you're right.

Re: Old sayings or sayings from old folks

I always liked that one.

My dad said a thing when someone was really using something up. "He's drinking milk like it going out of style". Or, "They go through asphalt like it's going out of style". I imagine that was a common thing for his age group, WWII Veteran.

And I just remembered another great one. He'd say this after speaking with an exceptionally well endowed woman, "I felt like I was standing closer to her than she was to me"

I heard that one as the quickest way to double your money was to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Re: Old sayings or sayings from old folks

I tell people that I’m working on my second million ..... I gave up on my first, it was too hard to get.

My dad used to wake us early by coming in, while we’re in a deep sleep, and yell “everyone wake up and pee!! The world’s on fire!!”

Re: Old sayings or sayings from old folks

Uglier that the south end of a north bound mule.

Colder than a witches tittie.

Colder than a will diggers ass.

Staggering like three sheets in the wind.

Crookeder than a room full of politicians.

Like in peas in a pod.

Quicker than a New York second.
