"It's so cold that the Lawyer, Banker, and Politician are keeping their hands in their own pockets!"
 
Old dutch friend of mine , sadly no longer with us, used to say whenever involved in a dispute with employees, builders, inspectors or general busybodies (in a thick dutch accent)

" Vell zats ze vay it's going to be, and if you dont like it, you can all FOOOOK OFF"

He usually got his own way, and it usually turned out that he was right in the end too!
Those who know me will know who I am talking about.

Here is one I have been hearing a lot around here lately. "It's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" I'm about to do a test.

Hi Phil, i worked for him or his doppelganger :lmao:
i worked on a couple jobs for a salty foreman. he was an older gentleman, i was an apprentice iron worker.
i did my best to stay clear when he started on a broken english rant that could topple structures:angry:
i heard his words ringing in my ears once again reading your post!
thanks for the memories, most of the time i laughed at how he murdered colloquial english.
it really was fun to watch and listen, if you weren't on the short end of the stick:jester:

He's slower than paint (drying)
She said "I want", which means "You must..."
SWMBO sez "It's just a scratch on the truck" = replace the rear bumper...
