I have two Top 5 Sayings lists. One set that I use to keep me from getting the iron skillet treatment, the other set is what I would say if I weren't a big fat chicken.

1: Yes honey, I would love to spend the day with your mom and aunts.
2: No, honey, the toast isn't burnt (CRUNCH CRUNCH)...it's just right.
3: Yes dear, we can go shopping.
4: Sure we can order in dinner.
5: No dear, I don't really want a motorcycle/hot rod/bass boat/pilot's license.

1: Spend a day in a house with three 70 year old women talking about bunions and blood sugar levels? Are you insane?!?!?!?
2: Toast? I thought it was charcoal for the grill.
3: Shopping? Don't you have enough crap already?!?!?!
4: Order in dinner? What's wrong with the $200 worth of groceries we just bought...oh, that's right....YOU'D HAVE TO COOK IT!
5: I don't care what you say, I'm getting a motorcycle/hot rod/bass boat/pilot's license.

Can you tell which list is the one I say and which is the one I wish I had the courage to say?

All interesting quotes Alain~ are you a vegetarian? Vegan?

[Daveroo]

Not Mon Dur but Mon Dieu, means "my god".


ah thank you.....i do infact use it in that context.....like "OH my god"....but i didnt know how to spell it

[FAC257]

I've only been able to come up with four so far:


1. "He who farts in church, sits in his own phew."

Old saying with many versions. This is the way I learned it from my mom when I was a little kid. It may seem simple, but the meaning of life is hidden in there. :)



2. "I'm glad everyone doesn't want the same things I do in life. If they did, the things I want would be harder to get."

I came up with that one many years back in a conversation with a friend. Not sure if I was the first person to ever say it.



3. "If something doesn't make sense, it probably isn't true"
Judge Judy. LOL


4. When asking my dad about 50 years ago why he loved Cessnas over Pipers, his response...
"Did you ever see a low wing bird?"


FAC

[WarHorse47]

1.) Honor an urge.... (from my college days. Had this on a t-shirt for a long time)
2.) Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away... (when talking of days gone bye)
3.) If you take care of (your choice here), it will take care of you... (My Dad taught me this one)
4.) If you have your health, you have everything... (Another Dad-ism)
5.) Action speak louder than words... (helps when raising kids)
6.) Saying so, doesn't make it so... (another way of saying #5 - espeically when you deal with politicians)

[wiltzei]

1) What´s the hurry in a finished world?
2) Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
3) Freedom is just chaos in a better lighting conditions.
4) Smile! Tomorrow will be even worse.
5) The purpose of errors is to highlight need for criticism.
Bonus) Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit. - Oscar Wilde

[AussieMan]

1. Flat out like a lizard drinking at a dry waterhole (when asked how I am, especially at work).

2. Drier that a dead dingo's donger (used to describe how thirsty you are)

3. Fair suck of the sav.

4. Japanese or Taiwanese safety boots (when referring to an item of footware called the thong).

5. He has deep pockets and short arms (usually used to describe someone who tries to dodge his shout at the pub).

3). Accept responsibility, Lead courageously, and enact justice on behalf of Others..:ipepsi2:

**Practice, concepts of Empathy, Inclusion, and Integrity
