"Consider the source and let it be." -Dad
My dad said that so many times I can't even remember! It was generally when someone said/did something really dumb, told a very stretched story, or just demonstrated how uncommon common sense really is! 8)

My wife says 'Your daddy weren't a glass maker!' every time I step in front of the TV.
It took me a couple of months into our marriage to actually understand what she meant. Southern Women... :crazy:

My Dad's favorite saying to me when I was a kid (hell, even as an adult): "You were ripped off."
My best friend's dad always said this: "A day you don't bleed is no day at all."

When everyday problems seemed overwhelming, mom would say "it'll all come out in the wash". Same situation, dad would say "piss on it, I'm going fishing "

A friend of mine had a heart attack, the last thing he remembered was them putting the paddles on his chest and shouting "Clear"!. Now when things get to heated around the house that is what we shout in order to calm things down..."Clear"

Another one of my dad's favorites when it was cold out he would exclaim " it's colder than a grave diggers ass in the klondike"
or if someone farted he would say" damn you could knock a buzzard off a shit wagon"

My Dad's famous phrase..."I'm sure it'll be fine." This somehow became a replacement for loadbars or straps when loading a full 53' trailer haha we had differing opinions to say the least haha

Greetings,
My 85 year old dad told me this one. More of a proverb than a saying.
"Mary had a little watch and she swallowed it one day,

So Mary took some castor oil to pass the time away,

But the castor oil refused to work and the time refused to pass,

Now when you want to see the time just look up Mary's....

Little brother, he has a watch too!"

My personal favourite quips from my father are:

'Drier than a popcorn fart' (often used to describe how he wants his martini)

'Colder than a witches tit'

'Useless as tits on a bull'

My dad would say never put your dick where you would not put your mouth and you will be safe.
