Title: Sayings
Post by: Bicycleman on July 12, 2022, 11:39:56 AM
Over the years, I have heard people using saying that conveyed a humorous meaning.


Some that I remember:
He is a few 'fries' short of a Happy Meal.
His elevator doesn't stop on all floors.
He is a couple bricks short of a full load.
Friends call him 'Tiny'.  You may call him "Sir".
His favorite music is Silence!


Please add your favorites.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
He is a sandwich short of a picnic
Dumber than a bag of hammers
Slicker than snot on a door knob
Ugly as a mud fence

Soil that was so poor, you couldn't raise your voice.
The motor didn't have enough power to pull the hat off your head.
A smell so bad, it made a vulture puke.
The house was so clean, you could eat off the floors.   :P
His mother tied a pork chop around his neck so that the dogs would play with him.

OK Mike  ;D

He claims to be a good shot with air guns but he can't hit the ground with his hat most days.
When he talks about target shooting he is just blowing smoke
He can't hit the broadside of a barn with a hand full of BB's
He goes squirrelly during hunting season.
He missed that shot by a mile.

Best Wishes - Tom

He has a Tate's compass for hunting in the woods.  The saying:  He who has a Tates is lost.   ;)
He was so tight with his money that he didn't let go of a nickel until the buffalo . . . .
Coffee that was strong enough to float a brick.

He could eat an apple through a picket fence.
He even had to sneak up on a water fountain to get a drink.
And so weak he couldn't pull a greasy string out of a cat's butt.
His truck was so rusty you could throw a chicken through the side of it.
You could put the twinkle in her eye by shining a flashlight in her ear.

The more you practice, the luckier you get.

The race doesn’t always go to the swift.  But that’s the way to bet. 

A novice practices until he gets it right.  An expert practices until he can’t get it wrong.

I have not failed.  I have discovered 10,000 ways that won’t work.

 “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”

“Bend the tree when it’s young because when it’s old, it’ll break.”

“A ghost knows who to scare and who to tell goodnight.”

 “The same bird who brings gossip is the same bird that takes it back.”

Robert, that one reminds me of a guy with whom I shot pool.  He would brag that he was GOOD.  Then, when someone would say they didn't think that he was very good.  He would come back with "Maybe I'm not too good; but I don't miss!
And he didn't miss often.

My dad always told me exactly that until I was almost 20 (and to my sister until she graduated College at 22!) and he meant it.  He would use the door chain to block our entry, but mom would undo the chain after he fell asleep which was usually no later than Midnight, and I was able to sneak back in with my key.
The 1 and only time dad had coffee late and managed to stay up, he caught me trying to get in around 1am.  He would get cranky when tired and missed his bedtime, so I knew this was going to get ugly.  After he told me his house, his rules etc., he would not let me in, so I slept at my best friend's house.  I called the next day (Sunday) in the afternoon and my mom said they were both worried sick about me, which I knew and why I called late the next day :)  I told her to tell dad that if he does that to me 1 more time, I would sign up for Room & Board at school and move out, or rent a room in town.  Mom said OK I told him and he is nodding... and so ended the Midnight rule for me.  My sister had to endure it a couple of years longer than I did.

My parents really just had a curfew for me until I was 16 or 17 as I remember. I know I was driving (I got my Drivers License at 15 1/2) and staying out late (12:00-3:30AM) and just had to be quiet when I came in. Now had I gotten in ANY trouble life would have been over, LOL. My dad was a Police Reserve Officer, owned his own business, and taught nights at the College, so he had eyes everywhere! My parents taught us how to think and make good decisions growing up and match freedom and with responsibility as we aged. I had keys to my parents vehicles and always asked if I needed to use one of them. Well, my dad did tell me I could just take his 1972 CB350 and Yamaha 175 anytime so I didn't ask to ride them. I did ride those bikes hard but never crash/damaged the CB but I did highside the Yamaha 175 on a dirt oval at about 50mph but it had minor damage that I payed for and repaired. Come to think of it his eyes were not off road,  ;) or at least none caught me jumping the CB350 or ring it like a dirt bike. At the sand drags in the riverbed my older brother crashed it when he tried to ride like I did. I did get in some trouble for letting my older brother ride it.  :-[

old man:  "Excuse me"

desk: carries on with next person in line

old man gets to front of the line:  "Do you know who I am?"

True story. Wife had the kids in the car waiting at a stop light when a guy pulls up along side of the car on a M/C waiting for the same light. Windows were down and who, but my middle daughter aka trouble maker looks at the guy who has a full coverage helmet on says "are you my daddy"? The guy is trying shrinking down on his bike trying to disappear.lol luckily for the guy the light changes and he takes off like a bat out of he77 . She really thought it might be me as I ware a full coverage helmet. Still get a giggle out of it 40 years later.

 A long time back, in the 1980s, I worked at --now well-known restaurant in this general area, The Common Man-- and the owner told us a story about a couple of old men he saw at another establishment.    Both had had just about enough to drink.  One of the men would say something clearly profound and the other would say, "Good Point, well worth mentioning!"  and then the other man would spout something equally rapturing and the first would reply with, "GOOD POINT! Well worth mentioning!"
This went on for a good half hour before they were both asked to leave due to legal reasons......

so... from then on, I have taken on that as my own line when I hear something I have no other words for.
It's amazing how well it fits in so many places.

About guardian angels I know they fly at least 135mph because when I was a young punk that's how fast I was going when I should've died swerving to miss a dog then spinning the car on a narrow 2 lane road with deep ditches for the next 1/4 mile until I finally safely came to a stop. I was shaking uncontrollably from the event. My cousin racing behind me when it happened said he thought he was watching me die in front of him. My car turned at least 3 full circles with the tires skidding. Some dude watching from his front patio came running up saying that was the best driving he'd ever seen and how did I keep it on the road? I said I don't know because I should've been kibbles and bits scattered across many people's yards. Just wasn't my time is all I can say as many young people have died driving stupid.

When in danger, fear, or doubt.

Run in circles, scream and shout.

Yesterday, I went to the Medical Center to get a Covid Booster shot.  The receptionist at the desk asked if I wanted to continue with the Moderna shots. 
I told her:  "I don't change horses in the middle of the stream."

A new saying is born:  Last night, during halftime of the game between LSU and Auburn, the announcer was making the point of one of the teams doing too much 'thinking'.  He said it was "Paralysis by Analysis".  I bet he spent all of last week practicing that saying and figuring how to work it into the commentary.
A last comment:  LSU won over the Auburn Tigers by a score of 21 - 17.

That old saw always confuses my wife.  For some reason she just can’t get her head around it and it always comes out garbled.  She will say “half of one six dozen of another”  or “ six of one a dozen of another”.  It’s gotten so that we laugh about it.
