Time will tell.

 

My Grandma would say about a less-than-perfect attempt at something:

"A man running for his life would never notice."

 

I worked for a carpenter early in my career that had a similar statement for less than perfect work. He would say "looks good from downtown". Then my dad, who worked for GE where they made military armaments for the US government said the common saying was "good enough for government work".

Wasn't it John Glenn lamenting on the Gemini space capsule as he is orbiting earth about it being built by low bid contractors? That could be urban myth, too.

 

I also cut my teeth as a carpenter and worked for an old timer in 1973 (I was 20) on a framing crew . . . we were "nail drivers", that was the job description (no pneumatic stuff in 1973). Mr. Bundy was the saw man, he would cut lumber and we would nail it up and we would often be studying the situation, loathe to make a mistake. Mr. Bundy would get irritated at our pace and say:

"The hell fire boys! Nail it 'fore it rots! It ain't a goddamn piano."

 

Old boss would tell me, a blind man would be dam glad to see it and his deaf would be happy to hear about it

Many years ago a neighbor was losing an argument with another guy, so this neighbor says hold on... I'll be right back. He gets something from a toy store, comes back, hands it to the guy. Neighbor says "I found these, I know they're yours because you lost them". It was a bag of marbles.

Me and grandpa were working on some thing,as he uses his hammer to get off the ground. It's hell to get old. as a dump 20 year old I didn't understand. 40 years later I do.

 

Being old is like being high and going through withdrawal at the same time.

 

What Mr. Goodbar sez..

 

Lots of really really good ones posted here, but imho, none will ever be better than just
"shit happens"
except
"shit happens, deal with it"
or in mixed company.."that's why they make the bumper sticker"

 

Shit doesn't happen, it's created by assholes.

 

Exactly............that's why you have to deal with it.

 

" No matter where ya go , There ya are "

"Never pass up a chance to shut up"

 

" we have two ears and one mouth , so listen twice and speak once "

 

When you younger folks get older you'll appreciate "never pass up a good chance to pee."

 

And never trust a fart.

My dads favorite was “ every day above the dirt is a great one.”

 

My dad used to say as long as you can roll over and not hit wood, your doing good

There will always be someone to criticize you, so just do whatever you were going to do anyway.

 

One of my favorite signatures of someone on here is; "If you didn't build it, shut up"...

 

Another one my dad used to say, most engineers are so smart there stupid. He was a mechanical engineer

" I'm not sure I understand everything I know about that "

 

My Mother-in-Law = " If it won't go , Don't force it "

 

or...

If it don't fit get a bigger hammer.

 

Back in the day I owned a Rolls Royce Service center. When the local dealer went broke we serviced a lot more of their cars . One of the more interesting signs sent to us was a very elegantly printed and framed wall hanger.

It stated, "If it don't go, force it. If it breaks it needed to be replaced anyway!!!!!"

That added a lot of conversation in the service bays when a customer saw it hanging on the wall.

just sayin'
