Ok, I've read a few really good ones lately and I know you guys have to have some more.

 

From BYC I heard "nothing like a meal that comes with a free hat"    

 

and just this morning I heard "knee-high to a grasshopper's butt" to describe a short person.  

 

so what else ya got?

All young people sow their wild oats, and then they come home and pray for crop failure.

I'm a little teapot.....

Teacher to a petulant looking teenager, 'What's a matter with you?'

 

Teenager to teacher, 'Nothing'. (I'm sure we've all heard that one)

 

Teacher to teenager, 'Then tell your face!'

Worthless as teets on a boar

Bald as a cucumber.

More chins than a chinese phonebook.

A farting horse will never tire, a farting man is the one to hire.

 

My wife's grandpa had a million of these sayings.

"Guns don't kill people abortion kills people."

 

The human will is too powerful for philosophy or science.

 

 

Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton agreed on little publicly, but they did agree that when the public treasury becomes a public trough and the voters recognize that, they will send to government only those who promise them a bigger piece of the pie
