Sayings you remember from years ago

[Old_Paint]

You can’t say anything stupid if you keep your mouth shut

The longer version:
It's better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

"Tripping over dollars picking up pennies"

Spare no expense to save money.

The left hand has no idea what the right one is doing. That's why the brain is in the middle.

There are NO free lunches. EVERYTHING has a price.

If all else fails, read the instructions. If that fails, leave it alone.

Wobbly as a drunk bicycle.

Lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut (untrustworthy).

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.

You have 8 (Ears, eyes, nostrils, hands) input senses. ONE output device (mouth) shuts every one of them down. Think about it.

Children should be seen, not heard (when the grownups are talking).

Pricey as a left-handed waffle turner.

 

[Pawnee]

Two wrongs don't make a right, but two Wrights can build an airplane.

Airspeed is your friend.

Posted on a gun board years ago about someone who was being a PITA:

"Ahh, arrogance and ignorance in the same small package. How efficient".

 

[ACDII]

If it ain't broke, break it and buy another.

If at first it wont move, turn, or do what it should, force it.

Man, White men can't jump

"Wait 'til your father gets home."

Shortly after he did get home, I never remembered the rest of the day.....(sarcastic)

Today, that would be a bad thing. Probably subject to prosecution.

it made me a better person.....

 

[DaveFromMi]

Smells so bad it would knock a buzzard off of a sh*t wagon.

 

[ACDII]

Don't go flying off the handle when full of Chit.

 

[Henro]

You are lucky I didn't catch you...

Something my dad said later, after my attitude got him really pi$$ed.

Fortunately, as a young teen, I was faster than he was, and he settled down by the time I came back home...

 

[Clevus]

My dad watching me work on my car in 1972:
“Son, you could Fvck up an anvil.“

Airspeed is your friend.

Until the sudden stop!

 

[dlsmith]

Always stay at least two mistakes high.

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

 

[Henro]

After hearing something someone said...sometimes just a personal thought:

"Famous last words..."

 

[SAR Tracker]

Those that can, Do.

Those that can't, Teach!

 

[papajoe]

I had a cousin that broke everything he worked with. His dad said "That boy could tear up an army tank with a rotten inner tube.

 

[lakehouse_dreaming]

Old ball coach used to tell us before a game "Boys we are here to do two things, kick A** and chew bubblegum and I am all out of bubblegum!"

No good deed goes unpunished.

Its colder than a witches titty in a brass bra.

 

[Lil Foot]

Those that can, Do.

Those that can't, Teach!

Those that can't teach, teach teachers.

I do not feel this way, just passing on one of my uncle's sayings.

 

[RCW]

“Good thing it hit you in the head, otherwise you might have gotten hurt……”

My father’s reaction after I told him I got tagged with a widow-maker 30 years ago. I was okay, but scrambled my preserves for a little while…..my logging hat was hanging on the truck’s side mirror nearby…..

“You’d bytch if it was cold…..”

My mother’s reaction if us kids complained about our meal being temperature HOT….

My family has always been very nurturing and compassionate…..

 

[dlsmith]

Lefty loosey, righty tighty.

 

[D2Cat]

You can take that to the bank!
