    The Marx brothers were comedic geniuses. I can watch those old movies over again. So funny.

    Diplomacy is the ability to tell someone to go to hell and have them look forward to the trip.

    Years ago Dad was #1 salesman and his boss asked what his secret was.
    He said "I'm bald enough to look distinguished and have hemorrhoids enough to have a look of concern".

    According to Archie Bunker it was getting someone to do something they didn't want to do by promising to give them something you were never going to give them.

  11. One of my favorite Marx Brothers gems is this. Cicco: I think we should have a standing army “ Groucho: why?, Cicco: cause then we’d save money on chairs!

    It's good that the right people hate you for the right reasons.

    When someone gets something he didn't work for, someone else worked for something he didn't get.

    We are all put on earth for a reason, even if it's just to serve as a bad example.

    Everyone brings joy to a shop, some by entering, others by leaving.

    We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things go downhill.

    Never criticize someone without walking a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you'll be a mile away, and have their shoes.

    And from one of the farmers I used to work for: "It's not so bad getting old, just unhandy at times."

    My dad had a boatload of sayings . . . one in particular he used a lot: Two or more folks struggling with some task, he would say "Like two monkeys trying to fuck a football."

    His favorite quote was from Satchel Paige: "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."

    Paige had as many great quotes as Yogi. Here's a few more:
    "Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching."
    "Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines."
    "Money and women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same with money."
    "Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter."
    "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?"
    "Mother always told me, if you tell a lie, always rehearse it. If it don't sound good to you, it won't sound good to no one else."
    "Don't eat fried food, it angries up the blood."

    Seems appropriate what with this being D-Day anniversary. My dad was a WWII vet and he always got a kick out of saying this. I would say this qualifies as a quote to live by for when things aren't exactly copacetic.

    Hello,
    While visiting a friend for a nice dinner, overheard were many questionable sayings by the head of the household. Being nice to the whole family, one learns to just say nothing in reply.

    A grumpy old man (gone now) once said to his wife, many questionable quotes over the years. One time, after she served him his dinner, she asked how was the ....... The answer was: " I'm eating it, aren't I?" That guy was full of not just dinner, but other stuff, too.

  26. I used to use this one on my kids, "Are those ears painted on?"
    Now, they use it on me.

    You're the kind of guy that would piss on my boots and tell me they're wet because its raining.

    She's got a face that would make a freight train take a dirt road.

    So many good ones!
    When I brought my wife to meet parents 46 years ago we were having dinner when Dad farted at the table "George!" she exclaimed. Dad said "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your turn Ma".

    My Dad told me more than once......
    "Boy....I'll beat you till you shit......then I'll beat you for shit'in"!
    "I'll beat you like a borrowed mule"
    "I'll stomp a mud hole in your ass...and then I'll walk it dry"
    "Can't never did do nuth'in"!
    He's been gone a long time but his "say'ins" still make me smile

    Even a dog knows the difference between being stumbled over and kicked.
