What is your favorite old time saying, you know the ones that your grandpa would recite all the time. These are those simple lines that hold so much meaning....

Here are a few of my favorites...

* It is not what you make it is what you keep
* penny saved is a penny earned
* do it while you are young
* hindsight is always 20/20
* red and yellow kill a fellow, red and black venom lack
* call the kettle black
* two birds with one stone
* a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
* liquor before beer you are in the clear, beer before liquor never sicker

What are your favorites??

Happier than a possum up a tree
Had a little dog named Jack, stuck him in the barn and he peed out the crack (Grandpa used to say that one all the time)

That car runs faster than a raped ape.
Your a couple of fry's shy of a happy meal.
Hotter than a freshly f**ked billie goat in a pepper patch.
Hotter than a 3 dollar pistol.
Sharp as a bowling ball.
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Use your head for something besides a hat rack.
Tend to your own rat killings.

In the eternal scheme of things, is this really important? (referring to whatever is going on at the moment)

And from dad:
Eat every carrot and pea on your plate. (say it out loud, you'll get it ;) )
