It's all fun and games till.......

It takes seven "ata boys" to equal one "oh s***!"

I used to hear stuff like...

“Use your head for more than a place to put your hat”

“Hard work ain’t gonna kill ya, but lack of trying may...”

“No matter what others say, love, praise, and fear God, and live your life accordingly...it will pay off when you meet HIM.”

And I knew I was maturing when I began to understand what it all meant!

"If your head wasn't screwed on, you'd loose that too", "You wanna cry? BAM, now you've got something to cry about!" , Mom was tough. W.C.Fields "If I put your brain in a thimble, it would roll around like a BB in a box car"

Grandpa's best saying was "Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free".

From my grandma: "It has everything you need and nothing you don't". She was talking about her car (without a lot of options) but I've often used it to describe fixed sight revolvers

Reminiscent of a GP100 too. Heh.

Better to have it and not need it than the other way around (learned at 13, in my first CPR class, around 1979.)

Hate corrodes the container that it's kept in!

Always have a plan B.
Two is one, one is none.

After listening to someone say “if” this and “if” that, one of my bosses would say, “...and if frogs had wings they wouldn’t get callouses on their butts.”

If God didn’t want us to have guns, he wouldn’t have given us trigger fingers.

" once is an accident, twice is coincidence, three times, enemy action. "

I'm so poor, I can't pay attention.

Brother, if I stepped on a worn out dime I bet a nickel I could tell ya if it was heads or tails!
