Ahhhhhh Tent!
Like I said before, if I had just one dollar for the many times I heard this one too. This one surely reminds me of the times my folks told us about speaking without knowing the whole story. If only people today would adhere to this ole timey classic.

This is one is tauted around with authority here in AK, but with another form of rhetoric. When someone does something nice & is posted in a forum, it usually get a response like "Good Karma."

Well, I am sure this sentiment was stated long before it.

How about "If your brains were dynamite you wouldn't have enough puff to lift your hat to a lady"

And these devastating retorts from Sir Winston Churchill

Wife of prominent politician to Winston Churchill (with distain in her voice): Mr. Churchill, you are drunk!
Mr. Churchill: Yes, madam, and you are ugly. But in the morning, I will be sober, and you will still be ugly.

Lady Astor: Winston: If I were married to you, I'd put poison in your coffee.
Sir Winston Churchill: Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it.
 
Ahhhhhh Bullwinkle!
That is a good one. Some people can never be happy or pleased.

Nice,

from my father's father:
"Shinier than a diamond in a goat's butt."

and this one from my life in the Ozarks:
"As worthless as tits on a boar hog."

Well Splatter Pak, if you give some money away to help someone, it surely will come back to you. Maybe not in paper form, but in a way you can benefit from. I am sure of it.

Those are good ones, though I have not heard before. I have an arsenal of quotes to use on my friends now. I have learned so many new ones.

Nice,
Rome
