Do you use any fun/useful/amusing sayings?

I really enjoy different sayings - do you have any to share?
For instance, I like these:
- This, too, shall pass;
- The load alone makes the donkey walk;
- Everything evens out in the end; the rich get their ice in the summer, the poor have theirs in the winter;
- If you don't want moths, turn off the light;
- S/he's as persistent as an overdue bill... you get the picture!

My favourites are always kinda vengeful!!...

What goes around comes around

You reap what you sow

Never complain, never explain

S**t happens!!

LOL!

My favorite that my Grandpa has always said ...

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

You know what that means, lol

I also like the ones for frequent flyers:
"Better to spend 10 hours on the ground wishing you were up there, than 10 seconds up there wishing you were back on the ground" and
"Better 100 minutes late than 100% dead!" I think they should put those on bumperstickers for the backs of the seats at the terminals!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade

What doesnt kill you makes you stronger, but sometimes it sure hurts like a beech.

I always say "Must you" it's not fun/useful or amusing but I always say it and in a very sarcastic stuck up tone.....!

I use one all the time - I always tell Rune he's "As subtle as a brick through a jewellers window".

"Sweating like a long tailed cat in a rocking-chair factory"

Sam, I use "must you" as well, in exactly the same tone of voice!! I also have a "look" which says "Just. Don't. Bother." as well... apparently. Unfortunately I'm on the wrong side of my face to be able to tell... Rune just told me I do....

My Mum ALWAYS used to say this one:

You know what Thought did? Wet his pants and thought he was sweating!

The ones I use at work:

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

You can either laugh about it or cry about it - laughing is more fun.

I think these are original, I know I came up with this one "It's never easy" (meaning a 10 minute job invariably takes half the day) and had my nephew translate it into Latin for me --- Nunquam Facile Est --- I use it as my motto.

Also, "It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it."

I love that one! Totally should be my motto!

Ok....my husband always says three things, I find that you can apply them to any situation:

1. You only have to be 10 percent smarter than the object/person/etc. your working with. (This one drives me batty)
2. Laughing turns to crying. (This one is great when the kids are horsing around)
3. Do you think your king sh*t of f**ckers forest?

Who knew he could be such a wealth of knowledge?

According to my co-workers and my friends I have some funny sayings.

Here they are....

Sorry for your bad luck.

Busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

You aren't just whistlin' Dixie.

Pack sand.

Dumb is dumb and a pill wont fix it.

I am sure I have many more, but I dont realize that they are that funny until I say them and someone starts laughing at them. I forget some of the others. I will post again when I figure it out.

The best things in life are worth waiting for

follow your dreams don't let your dreams follow you

what goes around comes around

don't judge a book by its cover

you made the bed,now sleep in it



hope some of them r useful!!!

Therapy is expensive. Popping bubble wrap is cheap. You choose.

And my new modification is:

Plastic surgery is expensive. Hair dye is cheap. You choose.

Slower than molases going uphill in the dead of winter.

Busier than a one armed paper hanger in a stiff breaze.

From my years of teaching swimming, I tend to rhyme phrases (works well to keep small kids invested in the lesson) such as:
Are you ready, Spaghetti?
Okee Dokee, Artichokee!
Know what I mean, Jelly Bean?? (My mom used to say this lol).

Just thought of a few more:

All your life, wherever you go....There you are.

Early to rise and early to bed, makes a man healthy but socially dead.

If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let them go because man....they're gone.

Laugh and the world laughs with you.....Cry and I'll give you something to cry about.

Cheating is often more efficient.

People who live in glass houses should get dressed with the lights off.
