Listen to him. Pearls before swine otherwise 😉


One of my fathers-- Never feel obligated to participate in someone elses foolishness.
 
My Dad is a font of bizarre (but often endearing) statements...

"School will rot your brain!" (to young children :Q)

"Sledgehammer the tv before it destroys our minds!" [he DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

"When are you giving me grandchildren?" [spoken to me at age 15]

2 of my favorites (and ones that are not funny and that I hold dear):

"Release bitterness."

"Work for yourself, for love of the work itself, and not for any rewards or to avoid negative consequences."

 
Jfur, you dad is a genius.

Some Momisms:

"I know you like a boat!"
"Your father was so happy he was jumping around like a grasshopper."
"Whats the difference between the army and the navy?

Some Dadisms:

"Yes SirMam"
"Get out of my kitchen"
"Hi how are you?"
"Hi how are you?"
"Hi how are you?"

Thats about it.

Ive always found that answering the following question by saying, YES, seems to piss them off more.... 'What am i, made out of money?' 😀

"some crap about the new world order and the jewish conspiracy and the trilateral commison and a world government led by the UN taking away our freedoms along with imposing the evils of the metric system, yadda, yadda, yadda, quite litterlly for at least 45 minutes while you sit there BORED STIFF cause I gave you the exact same pointless lecture yesterday for absolutely no reason and I think I'm losing my mind" <- my dad.

Also: "I bet you could run across the freeway."
 
Somthing my old boss would say:
"in and out like a bad habit"

Something my co-worker said the other day (said in a thick Texas accent):
"Why is a dry heat better than a wet heat? ....... Cus a dry fart is better than a wet fart"

6%? Where are you getting that rate? I am trying to refinance mine, and right now the lowest is 6.375% for 30yr fixed.

Oh, Jfur I learned that lesson already. I was 16 and had $5000. She told me to invest in the stock market. So i bought into a 150 year old company. In march. Of 2001. I just got my statement yesterday. $350.

'Dumber than a box of rocks.." was a favorite.

Come to think of it, "Never sh!t where you eat" was one he said too, but I never understood why he said it 🙂

Here's one:

Interesting...that and a token will get you on the subway.

I've heard a variation of that. For example,

Arent all ebay bids a legally binding transaction?

Yep. That and a quarter will get you a ride on the subway.

Basically, not a hell of a lot.
