Words to live by

All you need is bluff.

This is on my grandfather's cufflink box:

"A stud in hand is worth two under the bed."

Once, during a hell of a youthful bender, my friend was asked if something he said was true.

He famously replied (without a shred of sarcasm or realization of his mistake)

"Does the Pope **** in the woods?"


nigh on 30 years later, and I laugh at that memory.

I heard this a few years ago when someone replied to an 'obvious answer' question...

"Does Howdy Doody have a wooden dick?"

 

[RT Fan]

1.) KISS: Keep it simple, stupid.

And a classic from my maternal grandfather, Vermont common sense:
2.) There are more horses’ asses than there are horses.

If we're posting words of wisdom, I can think of none greater than own late father's words, when I asked him if I should marry my wife (now 10 years along).

"Well......does the good outweigh the bad?"

"Yeah, Dad."

"Then realize, all the little things she does now that make you smile will make your heart sing as years pass. But.....

All those things she does that irritate you now will make you want to stab her with a salad fork in the future."


Dad was a sweet, gentle man, and said this for comedy's sake, but he was right. Things magnify.

Problem is, like a rotten apple, it takes just one A-hole to really mess things up. Finding & dispatching every one sounds Sisyphean to me.

And since we can't eradicate them like so many bad bacteria, we need a good emotional immune system.

I heard this a few years ago when someone replied to an 'obvious answer' question...

"Does Howdy Doody have wooden balls ?"

Usually attributed to Cheech Marin, in "Up In Smoke"

"All that glitters is not gold, said the monkey, as he peed over the precipice in the moonlight"

(My Grandma, circa 1960-ish)

When using a public restroom, always make sure there's paper before initiating a download.

At home, as well !

 

[Mr.Jim]

Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow.

 

[MaxxVolume]

When faced with a seemingly insurmountable task:

"That`s like shoveling **** against the tide !"

 

[justjed2]

Don't call me Sir. It makes me sound respectable....

This has been said two ways

Never argue with idiots.
They only drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

( sometimes told as crazy people instead of idiots)

 

[BSome]

Of all he things I can remember my grand-paw saying, the one that stands out among all the others is

If you always tell the truth, you will always be believed

 

[Orwell84]

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

 

[Tedrick]

Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy.

The Lord helps them who help themselves.

Actions speak louder than words.

Oh man, the whole Ten Bears scene is just awash in badassery, if we're quoting that amazing film.

"Governments don't live together, people live together."

I do love that line, and recite it often.
