Heard this quite often growing up when people were talking about the Great Depression - dirty 30's
 
He heard that and his jaw dropped
 
When I go see my Dad and I ask him what he's been up to he often says "smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo"

Lyrics

I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun
Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do . . .










 
Alligator mouth, jaybird ass.
All hat, no cattle.
A couple sandwiches short of a picnic.
About as sharp as a sack of wet mice.

 
"Trouble rides a fast horse"
"You can't fix stupid"
"Can't never did anything" (a favorite of my father's)
"It's not personal, it's business" (from The Godfather)
"If brains were dynamite, she couldn't blow her nose"
"Measure twice, cut once" ... applies to more than just carpentry (another favorite of my Dad's)
"Life is tough, but it's tougher when you are stupid"
"Make the first punch, and make it count"
 
Attitude not aptitude determine the altitude.

Don't believe your own publicity.

Check your ego at the door.

Don't screw the help, literally and figuratively.

Recognize your weaknesses, play to your strengths.

The love you take is equal to the love you make.


Its a grrrreat grrreat day for mo-tor car racing.

Just because some people are fueled by drama doesn't mean that you have to attend the performance.
 
From the Army -March the guilty bastard in

Stay out of the kitchen if ya can't take the heat.
