Nothing beats a good one liner...
for example, I have a classic in the signature area of my avatar....my grandfather told it to me when i was a kid. i asked him "Grandpa, aren't you too old to drive anymore?"

Here's another "If you're in for a dime, you're in for a dollar!"
Good idea for t-shirts

When I inquired about the health of her aging neighbour, my grandmother replied, "well, she's got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel."

When I mentioned to my Canadian friend that I had taken my girlfriend on a vacation to Thailand last year, he replied, "why take sand to the beach?"

"nwod ttub ruoy dna ,pu daeh ruoy peeK"

is the opposite of "Keep your head up, and your butt down"

My mother passed away about forty years ago.


I'm pretty sure the opposite of happy isn't yppah.

Anyway way to spoil a ma joke. And sorry for your loss.

oh and a classic irish one liner.

(set up)father: "She is always complaining about something"

(one liner)Wife: "She didn't get that from the back stone"

I reported you to the management.


For what? You said and I quote

I then preceded to make the obvious joke. I don't see the problem. Especially since it is a ma joke, where it is implied that I am not speaking literally.

Pappy often said:

"Take your time... but hurry up!"

"Someone punches you, hit back with a loaf of French bread, dry enough to knock an eye out!"

And regarding home security: "Shoot first and ask questions later."

And in traffic: "Better to wait here than in the hospital."

When faced with a less quality option: "Good enough for the girls we run with."

I miss my dad. Crying or Very sad

Did you remember that next sunday is Father's day?

Steven Wright has some excellent one-liners.

Quote:
-"Did you sleep good?" "No, I made a couple of mistakes."
-"So, do you live around here often?"
-A cop stopped me for speeding. He said, "Why were you going so fast?" I said, "See this thing my foot is on? It's called an accelerator. When you push down on it, it sends more gas to the engine. The whole car just takes right off. And see this thing? This steers it."
-A fool and his money are soon partying.
-A friend of mine once sent me a post card with a picture of the entire planet Earth taken from space. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."
-A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
-About a year ago, my girlfriend was on the pill, wearing a diaphragm, and an IUD all at once. Recently, she had a baby; baby was born wearing armor.
-After they make styrofoam, what do they ship it in?
-All of the people in my building are insane. The guy above me designs synthetic hairballs for ceramic cats. The lady across the hall tried to rob a department store...with a pricing gun. She said, "Give me all of the money in the vault, or I'm marking down everything in the store."
-All the plants in my house are dead---I shot them last night. I was teasing them by watering them with ice cubes.

Back in college, I took a theater class. One day I was chewing bubble gum (a definite nono) and had one of the other students give me crap over it.

I said, "Hey, at least it's better than smoking" (more than 3/4 of the crowd were smokers)

He returned without a pause, "so's masturbation, but we don't do that either here!"

Couldn't answer that one. Embarassed

Good thread.

Some classics from my old man.

'If you're waiting on me, you're going backwards.'

'The only way to do it is to do it.'

'She looks like she got slapped in the face with a toilet seat.'

Random stuff, I also miss my dad.
