My great grandfather when talking about The Great Depression: "We were so poor, if Roland (his son, my grandfather) didn't wake up without a hard-on he wouldn't have anything to play with!"

Grandfather is 94. Dude is one of a kind.

"People's crazy neg"

"Negs, they like monkeys. One climb the tree the rest gonna follow"

After that dude shot up the batman movie.

"They oughta take people like that and drop them over seas. Tell em, if you wanna fight, go ahead fight. I'll give you so much per head. Now i'm finished with that."

My granny was on him to plant some bushes in the front yard. "Granny wants that for privacy. I told her, by the time they tall enough for privacy, we gonna be dead and gone suga"

Another one from my buddys grandfather ( who is about as close to a grandpa i will ever have."


he always says

" Hey boys, how much you wanna make a dollar bet? "

Instead of sayin, hey ill bet you 10 dollars you cant kill a deer today.

his translation: Hey boy, how much you want to make a dollar bet you cant kill a deer today?

I have my Great grandpaws double barrel hammer shotgun. 1897. Would not shoot it. I did talk with a gunsmith and the barrels couldn't handle new shell pressures. Other then that, it still works.

Now this Pawpaw (me), I will be passing down a 1972 Browning Sweet Sixteen that is mint to my first grandson that is now 2 1/2 years old. This gun was my Dad's. My son is very pissed about this, but told him that he gets all over guns, I think around 25 or so. Hell, I still have my first shotgun I got when I was 5 years old that is a 16ga.

He couldn't sell pussy on a troop train.

If tires were made out the same stuff pussy is made of, you would never need more than one set.

Crazier than a run over dog.

He couldn't hit a bull in the arse with a handful of sand.

Dumber than a brick.

Dead as a hammer.

God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.

A few years after my grandmother died, we were picking on him about getting some from this Filipino lady who kept him company. He just looked up and said "it's hard to push a rope".

Every time i asked how much longer a road trip would take he would always say:

"what did the monkey say when he got his tail cut off by the lawnmower? It won't be long now"

i have no idea why he would say this but he would laugh forever after saying it. It's not to inspirational though...

Both my grandfathers passed away when I was 5, but my uncles still pass down their sayings. My two favorite sayings from one of them were:

"There was nothing good about the good ole days, I'll take my A/C and refrigerator any day."

and

"There's nothing golden about the golden years."
