"You can't trust someone with thin lips. It's the sign of a dodgy character"
I think this is why I like black women. I just find them more....trusting

Hmm. As a thin- lipped person I find your post to be offensive.

My old man had a few. These all have to be said in a thick Hungarian accent.
Fight tomorrow's battles tomorrow. Liked to avoid conflict (he had his reasons!).
One car one captain.
Jiminy crickets was the limit of his swearing.

A favourite saying of my Granny's was, loosely translated from Greek, "Anyone who doesn't have brains has feet", meaning that if you don't stop and think first before doing something, you're bound to have to run around trying to fix your mistakes.
I heard it a lot.

I'm adopted. When I was fucking around, my dad would sometimes say, "The orphanage we got you from is still open."
Not really.
My son and I were driving around a couple Sundays ago and people were driving slow. I muttered, "Sunday drivers," and my son asked why I said that. I told him that's what his grandfather used to say about slow drivers.

I remember another time when my mom took my brother and I to a local park to hunt for polliwogs in the park creek. At a neighboring park table, a couple teenagers were carving their names or something in the top of the park table or bench. My mom saw it and told them, "Fools' names and fools' faces often appear in public places."
I was kinda embarrassed about that one.

My dad was a big do-it-yourselfer and I've head "measure twice, cut once," a million times.

My mom had a couple Swedish phrases she'd use on my brother and me:
ät och var tyst - eat and be quiet
duktig pojke - good boy

My parents used to tell me they'd drop me off to the Jehovah's Witnesses if I didn't stop being a shit, so much so my dad actually had to quote a job on the new Kingdom Hall when I was about 12 or 13 and wanted me to come with him and I was so petrified I'd be left there I refused to go with him!
Of course now with what I know about them through having used to date one I was right to be terrified.

"if at first you don't suck-seed, keep on suckin' til you DO suck seed!" Are you sure that was your parents and not your Boy Scout leader?

As Depression era kids, we were expected to eat everything on our plate at the dinner table. With us, it was there were starving Armenians who would gladly eat what we didn't want.

When watching football, my granddad would always say "I could pick a better team off my shirt than this lot". Never once got an explanation.
