I wish I had more time with my pow pows. My dad usually has some one liners that came from his dad that make you wonder about his sanity, but I cant remember any off the top of my head right now.

They both believed in hard work and Im grateful for that.
"No one has ever drowned in their own sweat"-- in response to being worked to death or too hard.
and one of them never said eat, he said et. Thats one thing I say when I eat with my dad now and it always draws a smile.

"There is more than one way to skin a cat."
"Show me who your friends are, and I'll tell you where you're going."
"Don't put yer dipstick in places it don't belong."
"Frick your wife, not yer friends." (once i got a bit older)
"You don't have to tell someone 'Go to Hell' when you want to tell them to go to hell."
ETA: "ain't nothing but work" - used this anytime I bitched about having to do hard work.

I wish I could recite it word for word. but IIRC the man lost his arm and went digging for it and never found it then the man would do something and my grandpa would scare us... something like that and probably not all that interesting now but looking back I remember just being freaked out.. He just had that good narrator voice too. Then again I was 9 when he passed.

On football..."they ran through the defense like green grass through a hot ox"
On money..."he's richer than 6 ft up a bull's arse"
On women..."The ruination of many a man has been a whiskey glass and a woman's arse"

He said "tight as dicks hatband" about three times a day.
Once told me, "even a fish wouldnt get caught if he would keep his mouth shut" Nice life lesson there.
Had a crazy crazy uncle that looked at me and said: "it could be raining pussy and you would walk outside and get hit with a dick"....I think I was 13.

After me saying "I want this" or "I wish I had that."
You can want/wish in one hand, and shite in the other, and see which one fills up first.

In reference to why he drank Schlitz, "It all comes from the same horse boy"
It's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock out there.
I ate so many rabbits in the depression I had to catch my arse and hold it down just to take a shite.
I wonder what the poor folks are doing today? (this one was heavy irony)
This year I'm catching Santa Clause and putting him in the pen with the fox hounds.
To the neighbor kids down the street, "Yall gonna steal some of my watermelons or not? They ain't gonna steal themselves you know, but don't let me catch ya"

I haven't had so much fun since the hogs ate my little brother.
You will never be the man, your grandma was.
Boy, I have to trained you after coffee break.

Man I can't remember my paw paws saying those cool old sayings like that.
I do remember my dad's dad showing me a large wad of money one day, and telling me "don't tell your maw maw about that"
