“Is a pigs arse pork?”

“Is the pope catholic?” For dumb questions I would ask

“Don’t do me no favors” when he asking me to do something for him

When my granddad though something was pretty cool he'd say "that's sporty-oattie". Not sure if that's how you spell it and I'm not sure I'd ever heard anyone else say it, but it stuck with me.

"if you are so smart, where is your money?" - for braggart
"believe you, deceive yourself" - about a liar
"no snotty slippery" - for unnecessary advice
"to want is not harmful, it is harmful not to want" - for useless dreamers
"When you lie, jump up" - this is when the grandmother saw that the grandson was cheating on her.
"a fifth leg is needed like a hare" - about useless things

if I still remember I'll write
