I'm not a dangling participle kind of nurse (or guy).

"If it ain't broken - don't fix it!" (was the exclamation point in the right location?)

Russ, your punctuation is correct, but you should have said, "If it ain't broke..."

You know, it's like that old thing I say sometimes when describing a floozie who looks like she might hang out with Mr. Midnight. What I say is, "That ol' girl looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet." (Somehow "ridden hard" just don't git it.)

Addendum: Uh oh. Should I explain that the allusion is to horses?

But...a refrigerator is often called a "fridge" for short(see Wicipedia). I assume it is due to the popularity of the Frigidaire refirgerator.
And, for those of us with LONG memories, a refrigerator is sometimes referred to as an "icebox".

I always have used " . . . rode hard and put up wet."

Rode hard, and put up muddy.
Maybe just the NC variation.

This is too funny. I should have "went" off line ages ago, but this has given me the late afternoon giggles.

These are a hoot! Thanks for sharing them!

There was an episode on Designing Women when one of them asked, "Where are you from?"
The other one said, "I'm from a place where we don't end our sentences in prepositions!"
Naturally, the first one replied, "So, where are you from, *itch?"

Tee hee! 8)

I guess this fits here as well as in the funny stuff forum:

9 Things I Hate About Everyone

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time........ I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2 People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3 When people say 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too'. Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4 When people say 'it's always the last place you look'. Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

5 When people say while watching a film 'did you see that?'. No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6 People who ask 'Can I ask you a question?'.... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8 When people say 'life is short'. What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9 When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks 'Has the bus come yet?'. If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?
