“Even if your job is digging ditches, you can still be professional about it”

“Yes Doctors are smart… At what they do , but I haven’t met a doctor yet that knows how to do masonry work.”

This last one I have no idea why, but when he got mad and “Horse shite “ was his chosen cuss word … he always added Luigi at the end….. “Horse shite Luigi !!! “

He had a few:

The first thing about marriage you need to learn you, is the three words “yes my dear’

If women didn’t have dat magic between them legs they’d have a price on their heads,

Couyon, I’m going upstairs to frick your grandmama.

He was a crazy coonass and I miss him dearly.

He said they had a cat that slipped into a grain silo and walked himself to death looking for a corner. We were kids and always laughed.

He would point to Beasley Bayou and say, "Be careful of snakes down there."

He would see lightning in the distance, count slowly and then when the thunder came, he would tell you how far away the storm was.

On the front screen porch at night, he would tell you if you were quiet, you could hear the creaks and pops as the corn grew (you actually could).

At some point on Saturday nights, he would say "Time to watch Mr. Paladan, then Matt Dillon and then bedtime."

He would tell his daughters, "That is my grandchild. You can correct them when you get home, but not here."

He would always ask if we wanted butter and cane syrup on our biscuit.

He would tell up we couldn't ride on the disk, but riding on the back of the plow was OK.

When I’d get too close to the table while they were playing poker, he would say,”back up buddy you are melting the ice”. He always had a glass of scotch by him.

He would always pull out a bag of chew and ask if I wanted a chaw. When I said no he would call me a yellow bellied sap sucker

Anyone else get called that. I swear he was the only person that would use that phrase

I remembered a few more. “He’s as weak as puppy piss”. When he would fart “oops, stepped on a frog”

Whenever we’d go to their house, my granddad would pay us to leave. He’d give us $2 bills. Still have a bunch of em.

“Well, I’ll be John Brown!”
“Crazier than a bedbug!”
I distinctly remember those two sayings coming out of his mouth often. Sure do miss hearing it from him.

My grandpa said many things, but one line that always stuck with me he said was this:

"Don't get old, A Menace to Sobriety. Cuz you ain't worth a damn for nothing."

When he told me that as a kid, I wondered why the hell he would ever say that. What he meant by that. As an adult, I get it. I finally get it. Smart man my grandpa was.
