What's Your favirite Phrase ?

Not often they mix it with gravel up here if they do a patch that big. But they do like to put the snakes in the intersection so you can't miss them as you turn.

Here is another one, do not remember seeing it in here anywhere, people are always coming over like it is an emergency he says:
**** poor planning on your part does not make an emergency on mine.
We must have had the same boss at one time or another. :)
 
A favorite from my biking days... a friend of mine used to say when we rode through the mountains where milk herds were moved from pasture to pasture along the roadways, "@#%^&% cows ALWAYS dump in the curves!"

Made for some exciting changes of direction.

Was over at a friends house yesterday. He just turned 94 and was a machinist for GM for over 40 years and I asked him if he had any sayings about machining.Turns out he had a lot but only a few that I can share here.
"Machinist create , everyone else just describes"
"I didn't envision , plan or design this part.But if you leave me alone long enough I'll make it work."
"Screw , Butt , Ball , Tailstock and Dead Nuts. You gotta love a machinist vocabulary."

I remember back when I was in High school and had just got my drivers licence. I borrowed Dad's truck and picked up my girlfriend after school one night and headed home for the "meet the parents over dinner" ritual. The ol' man was the first to greet her with, "Pleased to meet you...Todd says you're good and kind".
"Well, wasn't that sweet of him to say", she replied.
To which he answered, "Yup - good for nothin' and kinda stupid!"

Yeah, long story short.... there was no parking on Lover's Lane that night...:frown:
 
Which reminds me... a favorite when a father is addressing his teenage daughter's date for the first time...

"Boy, that's my princess, the apple of my eye that you taking out tonight... and if you're even remotely thinking of laying a hand on her in an ungentlemanly fashion, remember this... I'm not afraid to go back to prison."

I used to tell my daughters boyfriends, and her husband now, "I'd jump in front of a truck to push her out of the way. Why wouldn't I hurt YOU to keep her safe?"
 
Answer the door and ask your daughters date " Do you know of a good place to hide a body?" When he says " no." You reply " Well I do!"

"If you don't like it- don't whine about it- find a solution". (I used to tell the kids).

"I've got eyes in the back of my head". (My dad would say this, and as a little kid, it scared me to imagine that).

"It is what it is".
