Not sure how common this on is, only heard it once..... from Dad. But it has stuck with me all these years.

"At least three times a day, ask yourself:

Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
What am I SUPPOSED TO BE DOING?!?"

:-[ Maybe it will become more popular someday now that I've shared it.

from my brother Jim, which have also stuck with me for years. Very sound advice:


"Don't give advice, the wise don't need it, and the fools won't heed it."

Justin Wilson the Cajun comedian and cook had a saying to describe certain ladies: "She is so good looking I looked her up one side and right back down the same side!"

Unfortunately it is the unkind things we remember, they are usually funnier anyway!

One more saying found at many businesses and offices. "Everyone that passes through this doorway brightens my day. Some by coming, some by going!

There was quite an attractive co-worker that had recently been hired at a friend's workplace. The guys couldn't resist talking about her a little, nothing crude. Just as my friend commented she was cuter than a speckled pup she rounded a nearby corner, so close it was obvious she had heard the comment. When another guy in the group commented about it my friend stuck by his guns with the lady still in earshot. "If she doesn't know that is quite a compliment I feel sorry for her, she has never seen a speckled pup!"

Be careful how you choose your friends.....I would rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Remember when we were all young and wishing we would hurry up and grow up so we could do what we wanted to, when we wanted to?

Well how's that working out for you?   ???

Whenever my mom asked great grandma "What is that?" Great grandma would answer "I put that there to catch meddlers"

I don't think ma got the joke until after great grandma passed away....

An old German saying, translated by my grandfather.

When a man with experience meets a man with money, the man with the experience gets the money and the man with the money gets the experience.

When ever my father got praised for anything, he would always say "Yep, no flies on me, that's for sure" or "The grass don't grow under my feet"

And then there's "The only thing wrong with that machine is the operator!"

I just heard this on an old episode of "Maverick".

he said.....A man is the only animal you can skin more than once.
In reference to beating another player twice at a big poker game.

"As fine as a frog hair split three ways". 

I don't care who you are, that is fine.

If I need a frog hair split, I always call Jake. 

I bet that Julio could make an awesome frog hair soup.

Poston could sell a $300 oak slab to a Frog Haired Dude. 

I might be back in the Shed-Design-Business soon after I receive your "gift"  :).  I might need a Snow-Load-Consultant.

We have all heard or used the expression"the rule of thumb for such and such is",well tonight my wife enlightened me as to where that one came from.
Seems that back in time it was illegal for a man to beat his wife with a stick larger in diameter than his thumb.She looked at my hands and said "I should have married a smaller man' She comes up with some dillies.
