If she had a brain she'd take it out and play with it.


He's all hat and no cattle.

Wish in one hand and s**t in the other, then see which one fills up fastest.

Finer than a frog hair split 4 ways.

If brains were dynamite he wouldn't be able to blow his nose.

He's like a fart in a gale.

On that note...he's like a fart in a cane seated chair!

Before dinner when we would say...I'm hungry. My mom would say...look in the mirror and get fed up!

During dinner if we didn't eat mom would say ...eat it or wear it! Nice huh?

My dear Auntie Cass had so many here are just a few...

As I am someday you'll be!
In response to us asking why she never remarried after my Uncle Bill passed away...all men want is a nurse or a purse!
And at family gatherings...wherever you may be let your wind blow free!

If he/she had half of a brain, his/her head would be tilted.

2BNTV 07-15-2012 05:39 AM

As funny as a fart in a spacesuit.

BTW - I forgot to mention, one per customer.

2BNTV 07-15-2012 05:57 AM

Cheer up. Things could be worse.

2BNTV 07-15-2012 05:57 AM

Pull yourself up by the bootstraps.

My Father's work sayings
 
Do the job right the first time and you won't have to do it again.
To do the job right you need the right tools.
Do the job right or don't do it at all.

(Needless to say, I was expected to learn to do things properly. He was a great father.)

Measure twice, cut once.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Use your head for something other than a hatrack.

eremite06 07-15-2012 08:27 AM

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Why buy the cow when the milk's free.

2BNTV 07-15-2012 08:28 AM

I'll see you in the spring if I don't see you in the mattress.

eremite06 07-15-2012 08:40 AM

If it feels good, do it.

getdul981 07-15-2012 10:48 AM

So poor they don't have a pot to pi$$ in nor a window to throw it out.

If his brain was put in a matchbox, it would roll around like a BB in a Box Car.

The old man like this one when we were going somewhere. "Don't act like you were just shot out of a cannon."
