There is a reason I am hanging around the old folks posts!
You'd think that as much as we repeat ourselves that we'd have everything
memorized by now.

My 90 year old dad loves to say something that applies to just about everything you hear in politics.......

You can put a dress on a pig, but its still just a pig.

My departed grandma when offered a little bourbon holding two fingers about 3 inches apart - "Oh, I only want a sip."

How about this one:..."what were you thinking"....Obviously I wasn't or I wouldn't have done it....Wrong answer by the way.......


I remember one time in Church, my youngest son (about 3-4years old) at the time was just ready to go home....He kept moving around and my wife was trying to make him stay still...the preacher starting getting "Amens" and I knew the service was going to last too long....All of a sudden she snatched him up to go to the restroom for a Brief paddling and at the top of his lungs he Screamed "Help Me Please Someone Help me:...She'll kill me in there." The congregation began to laugh so hard the preacher had to sit down to get his composure and he said "I think it's time we pray.".........

One of my sister-in-law's in-laws on the other side of her family died recently and at the funeral, the son of the dearly departed was telling tales about things his dad did to inspire and challenge him. He told of several old sayings his dad had used over the years, including "are you going to take your lunch or walk to school" which had no apparent meaning.
