Favourite Saying

Stencilled above the sink window in my kitchen:

"Laughter is brightest where food is best" Irish proverb

But my all time favourite is this. In the mid '70s I was at a Fleetwood Mac Concert. Place was a bit of a zoo, people sitting in the stairwells in between the seats.

There was a book out at the time called, "I'm Okay, You're Okay".. I think the beginnings of the self help books.

Anyway, there was guy coming up the stairs, a beer in each hand, and a hand made t-shirt (you remember those places that would put anything on a t-shirt for you--letters, pics etc)... anyway, black t-shirt emblazoned with the saying:

"I'm Okay
You're a Dink"

I laughed right out loud.

love it!

I dont remember who wrote it....
A dog has many friends because he wags his tail and not his tongue.

Ha ha, that's a good one Cathy!

I had a button once, again a fad from years gone by. Every cause had a button or bumper sticker, or handmade t-shirt if you were really with it. Somewhere in a trunk of special goodies I still have this little button that attempted to thumb its nose at ALL the current causes of the time. A little anti-establishment, it says,

"Nuke the unborn gay whales"

Ha ha, I laughed even typing that!

AH HA HAAHAHAAHAAAA!

I want one!

Had one of those "t's" made up in grade 8 actually a white sweatshirt with my name on the back too.

"When God created man, She was only joking"

It was quite a hit for all of junior high

Thanks for the laugh this morning!
I look forward to hearing more.

Mine are R rated,LOL.

My Grandmother had this wonderful old plaque on her kitchen wall that I have never forgotten.

"Although you'll find this house a mess,
Come in, sit down, converse.
It doesn't always look like this,
Some days it's even worse!"

Her house was always immaculate but mine fits this saying perfectly!!!


In high school, I had a sign in my car that read "Save the Males!" I always loved that one too!

In high school my friends and I drank alot of coffee (yes in class; we had an awesome teacher! ). One day somebody brought a little plaque: "Don't make fun of the coffee. You'll be old and weak yourself one day." Not that our coffee could ever have been described as weak...

My grandfather had many sayings, but one of my favourites was, "Refain from calculating the extent of your juvenile poultry prior to the expiration of the entire process of incubation".

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. His saying may have been a bit different, but this is close.

used to work with an English Second Language lady who would explain why she did something as... FOR THE JUST-IN-CASE! She hasn`t worked here for about 10 years but it still gets said on a daily basis (sounds even better if said in a heavy Slavic accent)

A relative was at a work gathering of his parents and was speaking with his father's Administrative assistant.Sincerely trying to be complimentary he told her that his father found her work to be "more than adequate". Later his wife was teasing him about how effusive he is with his praise.

So it became a family joke. Now, any time we really like something, it is "more than adequate".

Any job worth doing is worth doing right

All our friends bring happiness some by coming and some by going
