" righty tighty, lefty loosey"

"don't throw the baby out with the bath water"

"if you don't want people to talk about it, don't do it"

If everyone else is jumps off the bridge, would you do it too?

Birds of a feather flock together.

You are what your friends are.

Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about.

Danny Thomas had a real uncle named Tonoose that was shortened to Tony but not on the show.

Make room for daddy got it's name because Danny Thomas was on the road so much, his children slept with the wife. When he was coming home, his wife used to say to the children, "Make Room for Daddy".

Hans Concried played that role to the hilt and was very funny.

I remember a nun saying that to me that in grammer school! My answered back to her was... "No, I can't swim!" {We were next to a canal bridge!}

On that same note, I was so surprised to discover that there really IS a Danbury, Connecticut! That's where Rob & Laura Petri lived.

To stay on track... Holy Toledo is a phrase we all used growing up in my area of Toledo. :ho:
Rob and Laura lived in NewRochelle, NY

"Because I said so!"

Pturner 07-14-2012 07:45 PM
One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch.

Oh no, these dang things are going to be popping into my head all night! :ohdear:

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 07-14-2012 07:46 PM
Can someone explain, "A stitch in time saves nine" to me?

graciegirl 07-14-2012 07:48 PM
Think before you speak.

He's not playing with a full deck.
